Hanai's Newest, Non-Profit Location

May 15, 2024

Hanai's latest venture, a non-profit shop owned by Friends of Ohana, is more than just a coffee shop—it's a beacon of hope for former foster youth. Here, 100% of the proceeds contribute to Friends of Ohana's mission of breaking historical cycles for foster youth through hope, healing, and community.

What sets this shop apart is its dedication to empowering its baristas, some of which are former foster youth undergoing training as Hanai Peoria’s newest baristas. Through their work at Hanai, they not only serve delicious coffee but also gain invaluable life skills such as responsibility, financial literacy, and time management—skills that may have been missed during their upbringing.

At Hanai Peoria City Hall, it's more than just a cup of coffee. It's a sip of empowerment and a taste of positive change.
