WARSAW — On Friday, Generous Coffee marked its one-year anniversary in downtown Warsaw by celebrating community, collaboration, and generosity.

Generous kicked off the celebration by welcoming dozens of community members, nonprofit leaders, and local partners into its renovated café space to reflect on the vision that launched just one year ago and to unveil an exciting new chapter for its mission.

“What started as a dream, and a lot of hard work, has turned into something more beautiful than we imagined,” said Tyler Silveus, Co-Founder and CEO. “This isn’t just a coffee shop, it’s a gathering place where generosity fuels purpose, and where local heroes are honored every day.”

Nonprofit Partners Honored

Over the past year, Generous Coffee has partnered with four local nonprofits: Baker Youth Club, Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts, Cardinal Services Inc., and CASA of Kosciusko County, using its donation-based coffee bar and coffee bean sales to raise both funds and awareness for their causes.

A New Chapter: One Nonprofit, Four Months at a Time

Looking ahead, Generous Coffee announced a new structure for its nonprofit support model. Moving forward, the coffee roastery will spotlight one nonprofit partner every four months, allowing for deeper engagement and storytelling around each cause.

What’s more, each nonprofit partner will be matched with a corporate sponsor to help underwrite the cost of the coffee bar, meaning more of the community’s donations go directly to the featured nonprofit.

The first corporate sponsor in this new model is DreamOn Studios, and the next nonprofit to be featured is Agaitas, a faith-based organization that uses free sports camps to reach underserved children locally and internationally.

Executive Director Ryan Burgher shared about Agaitas’ mission and growing reach from summer camps in Kosciusko County, to pop-up events at local mobile home parks, and even global efforts in India, Brazil, and soon Cameroon.

“We use sports for kids to feel loved and to hear about Christ,” said Burgher. “We go where the need is greatest, whether it’s a mobile home park in Indiana or a remote village overseas. And we’re able to do that thanks to support from organizations like Generous Coffee and DreamOn Studios.”

A Space With a Mission

Guests were invited to enjoy coffee, pastries, and conversation inside the space that was lovingly renovated just over a year ago. Several nonprofit partners also shared how they’ve used the space for donor events, holiday parties, and community gatherings.

“This place was built for more than coffee,” said Silveus. “It was built for connection, for generosity, and for the stories that bring us all together.”
