Fire Dept. Coffee

Work Hard, Sip Often with Fire Dept. Coffee
Strong coffee pairs with strong values in this veteran owned business.

Fire Dept. Coffee is a newly launched coffee brand on a mission to serve their country and community with the easiest drinking coffee you’ll ever have.

The company was launched by Luke Schneider, a Navy veteran turned firefighter paramedic, and Mark Williams, a combat vet turned firefighter, with a mission to serve, unite, and give back.

“Fire Dept. Coffee believes in the bonds created between people when sharing the mutual responsibility of selfless service to Nation and Community,” explains Williams. “The bonds created by service members and firefighters is unique, strong and loyal. Our brand looks to foster similar relationships with customers, business partners and employees. FDC will always put our team before lesser objectives like profits and numbers.”

Each batch is roasted to order, ensuring every cup is as fresh and flavorful as possible for when it’s needed most.
They offer three distinct roasts:
· Original — This medium roast is the perfect way to start the day.
· Dark Roast — Made with organic beans from fair-trade farms, its deep flavor hits the spot.
· Bourbon Infused – The perfect vehicle for one’s favorite bourbon, whiskey, or cream based liquor after a long hard day on the job.

In order to do even more good in their communities, Fire Dept. Coffee donates portions of their sales to military and fire service related charities.

“In the 25 years of combined military and public service, the team at Fire Dept. Coffee has always fostered the idea of charity. Whether big or small, it is the right thing to do.” Said Schneider. Fire Dept. Coffee continually runs campaigns and events to raise money, awareness and improve relationships with charity organizations that promote veteran outreach, the fire service and the people they serve.

All military and first responders receive 15% off every order. Additionally, Fire Dept. Coffee also offers a 10% discount to those who subscribe to their program, as well as free shipping on all orders over $50.

1 in 3 Americans are currently living with diabetes or pre-diabetes. Each recipe includes the American Diabetes Association’s approved meal exchanges and detailed nutrition information, while Nancy adds an arsenal of simple hacks to transform the neophyte cook into an amateur chef. Recipes include:

  • Double-Duty Banana Pancakes
  • Pork and Avocado Salad
  • Panko and Ranch Chicken Strips with Dipping Sauce

Mocktails

Throwing a party this Valentine’s Day, or maybe for the Super Bowl? Don’t forget to include festive non-alcoholic drinks. No idea how to make a tasty non-alcoholic drink? Martha Carucci does because she and her friends had mocktail contests when she first started down the path of recovery.

For an alcoholic, big parties are a double-edge sword.  How do you maintain friendships and remain social while celebrating with family and friends when you know temptation will be right there?  Hosts can help the all-inclusive atmosphere by making sure there are non-alcoholic options available as well as plenty of food to choose from. These simple and thoughtful touches will make everyone feel welcome at your gathering.

To put things in perspective, and to get real about alcohol, talk to Martha Carucci, a self-described soccer Mom from Alexandria, Va. who has been sober and laughing at life since 2012.  She doesn’t have a string of letters after her name but she does have a title she’s proud of, Recovering Alcoholic.  And she has kept herself sane and sober through laughter.  Here she talks with Dee Armstrong on WLTZ in Columbus, Ga about her road to recovery.  Visit Martha’s blog Sobrietease where it all began.

matthew-rhys-and-keri-russell-stars-of-tv-show-the-americans

On Thursday, October 6, 2016 Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy (Conservancy) held its fourth annual Brooklyn Black Tie Ball and After Party. The sold out event hosted over 800 guests and raised $1.1 million, a new record for the Conservancy. In 2015, the event raised $1 million.

The event took place on Pier 2 of the Park and included a cocktail reception on the promenade and a seated three–course meal. Guests enjoyed the magnificent Manhattan skyline and sweeping views of New York Harbor, which served as the backdrop for an evening celebration of one of New York City’s most spectacular waterfront parks. After the Ball, the Conservancy Currents, the Conservancy’s young professionals group, hosted a ticketed after party where guests participated in a high-energy gathering. It included an open bar, snacks and dancing under the stars with DJ Herbert Holler from the Freedom Party.

general-venue

Fulfilling the Conservancy’s vision for turning a neglected strip of waterfront into a verdant public space over 30 years ago, Brooklyn Bridge Park has provided New York City with an extraordinary place to play, learn, connect, and be inspired.

Proceeds from the Brooklyn Black Tie Ball will help keep the Park vibrant, beautiful, and growing; directly supporting the Conservancy’s over 500 free and low cost activities and events. Over one million Brooklyn Bridge Park visitors have enjoyed the Conservancy’s education, cultural, fitness, recreation, and arts programs. In 2016 alone, more than 170,000 individuals enjoyed Conservancy events including kayaking, waterfront workouts, and environmental education classes, as part of its extensive lineup.

At this year’s Ball, the Conservancy honored noted humanitarian and business executive, Barry S. Sternlicht, Chairman and CEO of Starwood Capital Group and the founder of SH Group and 1 Hotels. With a commitment to changing the standard for socially responsible hospitality, Mr. Sternlicht will debut 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge early next year. The Conservancy celebrated Barry S. Sternlicht’s personal and professional commitment to sustainability, environmental responsibility, and design excellence and honors his leadership in the philanthropic and civic life of New York City.

The Conservancy also paid tribute to Regina Myer, the outgoing President of Brooklyn Bridge Park for her years of service and vision that helped to establish the Park as a world renowned destination. Under her leadership, the 85 acres were transformed from an inaccessible waterfront into a world-class park that now receives over 4 million visitors annually.

“The annual Brooklyn Black Tie Ball has become a hallmark event for the Conservancy.” said Nancy Webster, Executive Director of the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy. “We were elated to honor Barry Sternlicht and his philanthropic generosity and commitment to sustainability. His support will help ensure Brooklyn Bridge Park remains a world class waterfront public space filled with first-rate programming that all ages can enjoy. Additionally, we were delighted to pay tribute to Regina Myer’s transformative vision in bringing the Park to life and we wish her great success in her next endeavor.”

“The Brooklyn Black Tie Ball has become a wonderful autumn tradition at the Park and a great way to support the Conservancy’s programs that make BBP such a special place,” said Regina Myer, outgoing President of Brooklyn Bridge Park. “We congratulate honoree Barry S. Sternlicht, whose 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge is going to be a great addition to the Park and to the neighborhood, and are grateful to everyone for their commitment to Brooklyn Bridge Park and the Conservancy.”
