Vita Nova Selected for Oceana Coffee’s “Cup of Kindness” Program

Vita Nova, Inc., a leading nonprofit dedicated to ending youth homelessness in Palm Beach County, is proud to announce its selection as one of the featured nonprofit organizations in Oceana Coffee’s Cup of Kindness Program for May through July 2026.

The partnership offers the community two meaningful ways to support Vita Nova’s mission while enjoying locally roasted coffee. Customers can visit any of Oceana Coffee’s three Palm Beach County locations and cast a vote for Vita Nova by placing donation beans in the organization’s designated jar.

Supporters can also purchase the special Vita Nova Coffee Blend online or in-store, with $5 from every bag sold benefiting Vita Nova’s programs and services for young adults ages 18 to 25 who are experiencing homelessness or transitioning out of foster care.

Funds raised through the Cup of Kindness campaign will help Vita Nova provide critical services, including housing assistance, educational support, employment readiness training, financial literacy education, healthcare coordination, life-skills development, and resource navigation.

“We are honored to be selected by Oceana Coffee for its Cup of Kindness Program,” said Jeff DeMario, CEO of Vita Nova, Inc. “This partnership is a wonderful example of how local businesses and community members can come together to create real opportunities for young people facing homelessness. Every vote, every bag purchased, and every share helps provide stability, hope, and a pathway to independence.”

Oceana Coffee, a woman-owned, family-operated specialty coffee roaster based in Tequesta, has built a reputation for supporting local nonprofits and strengthening the communities it serves. Through the Cup of Kindness Program, customers are empowered to support organizations making a direct impact in Palm Beach County.

About Vita Nova:
Vita Nova is a safe bridge to independence for former foster care, LGBTQ, and other homeless youth through supportive housing, education, employment, and life skills training. Vita Nova, Inc., located in West Palm Beach, Florida, is comprised of three components: the Spot, Housing (The Village), and Independent Living.

Vita Nova means “new life” in Latin and was founded by Father Leo Armbrust, a man who believed that foster youth deserved a better quality of care. Through the Vita Nova team members’ efforts, volunteers, and benefactors, older foster and homeless youth can lead lives characterized by independence, self-determination, and personal responsibility.
