Meet Lyon: Giving Back Through Great Coffee

Our newest version of Lyon

There’s magic in the act of giving, especially this time of year. A true joy that comes from sharing a little love to make a big difference in our community. The holidays are difficult for so many people across the country, especially those struggling with food insecurity. That’s why we’re excited to continue our partnership with Feeding America® to ensure all of our neighbors have the holiday they deserve.

The newest version of our special-edition Lyon blend, with artwork by Brooklyn-based artist Jordan Moss, is dedicated to nourishing our neighbors dealing with food insecurity. Each box is an opportunity to feed people who need it most. Every sip is a reminder of the impact we can make by embracing the magic of giving.
