Press Release
WARSAW — Warsaw Community Schools and Generous Coffee are excited to introduce the new “Tiger Drip” coffee blend.
The medium roast coffee was created to support WCS students across the district by providing funding for essential items such as food, toiletries, clothing and shoes.
Tiger Drip is available for purchase throughout the summer, both online and in-store. Store hours are from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays. Proceeds from every bag sold contributes directly to the school’s clothing closets for students in need. During the school year, WCS will have additional opportunities to purchase bags directly through the school buildings.
“Warsaw Community Schools has made a positive impact on so many lives,” said Ben Higgins, co-founder of Generous Coffee. “As I get older and hear more and more stories about an individual’s education journey I am continually reminded and grateful for my experience and education within the Warsaw Community Schools system. As a result, we are honored at Generous to be able to now do our part in supporting WCS and being a part of their continued impact. You are going to drink coffee anyways, so why not make it coffee that gives back to ur schools and impacts the future of the next generation?”
“All of us at Generous are thrilled to partner with Warsaw Community Schools to support their incredible work,” said Tyler Silveus, co-founder of Generous Coffee. “Together, we’re raising funds to provide essential clothing and nutrition to those in need, especially through the vital programs in our elementary schools. By purchasing the Tiger Drip, we are helping the youth and future leaders of our community.”
“WCS is blessed to partner with Generous Coffee on the Tiger Drip coffee blend,” said WCS Superintendent Dr. David Hoffert. “To our knowledge, WCS will be the first school system with our own unique blend of coffee. Even more importantly, the mission of both Generous Coffee and WCS is lived out through the sales and profits, giving the proceeds to our schools to assist with students need.”
