Aspire continues to turn possibility into progress by sharing our groundbreaking 10-year partnership between Aspire CoffeeWorks and Metropolis Coffee Company on Good Day Chicago!

Marcus and Alicia with Tony Dreyfuss

We welcomed the Fox 32 Chicago team to tour Aspire CoffeeWorks and the Metropolis roastery and to meet with some of the wonderful people that are employed there. The segments also highlighted the importance of inclusive work environments for people with disabilities and how Metropolis has been a champion of this practice.

“I feel like I saw the possibility with it right away, that coffee could make a difference in the lives of others. And I saw a lot of likeness between Aspire and Metropolis.”
– Tony Dreyfuss, Founder of Metropolis Coffee Company

On March 16th, at Aspire’s Big City Night Gala, Metropolis will be honored with the Partner in Progress Award, which recognizes a local company or organization helping Aspire to spread its mission and empower people with disabilities to excel in their careers.
