In an effort to support and honor Hugh Stott, a retired Chicago fire chief battling ALS, Fire Department Coffee has announced its new Benefit Bag of coffee as well as a new T-shirt design. The company also donated $5,000 toward the purchase of a custom wheelchair for Stott. An excerpt from the blog post is included below, and the full post can be found here.

He taught his children and grandchildren the one lesson that rises above all else:
“Do the right thing, always. You’ll be surprised how much easier it makes everything else in life.”
Hugh Stott’s legacy is one of giving back.
On Friday, Fire Department Coffee had the privilege of honoring that legacy by giving back to Hugh as he wages his biggest battle yet — living with ALS.
The Fire Department Coffee Foundation donated $5,000 for the purchase of a new custom wheelchair. We also introduced a new Benefit Bag of coffee and a special T-shirt design, so our customers can support him, too.
The coffee bag and shirt design feature the line “Everybody Gets Home Safe,” an apt phrase drawn from Hugh’s passion for firefighting and his love of baseball.
