Many times Tom has play a member of the military over is 40+ year career and now he will be giving back to the group he portraid so much on film. 100% of all profits will go towards foundations that support the veteran community, including Headstrong, Hire Heroes USA, the Bob Woodruff Foundation and Student Veterans of America as the first partnerships. Tom calls it “Good products for good reason”
The first product being released is coffee, 3 blends— First Class Joe, SGT. Peppermint and Tom’s Morning Magic Blend — will start shipping out in early December. Customers can pick from coffee grounds, pods for machines or instant coffee sticks. As for Tom’s blend, “the malt is the kicker!” he says in the flavor’s tasting notes. On the website Tom says, “I’ll never forget my first taste of coffee perfected with a little milk and a dash of chocolate malt. School mornings are never quite as dreary again.”
Along with providing 100% of proceeds to the veteran community, Hanx also aims to amplify the community’s voices, as well as veteran-owned businesses.
Thank you Tom for your generosity and to all the Veterans you’ll be helping, THANK YOU for your service.
