It may be surprising that actor Tom Hanks hasn't given more brand endorsements over his long career. His fairly universal appeal makes him an ideal spokesman, and now he's started a coffee brand featuring his name. Hanx for our Troops is the new premium coffee brand Hanks started, with profits going to veteran organizations. Here's where to buy Tom Hanks's coffee, Hanx.
Hanks, who is one of the most successful actors and producers in Hollywood, certainly has the star power to attract customers to his coffee brand. In addition to Hanks representing the brand, it has a noble purpose: 100 percent of net profits will be given to organizations that serve U.S. veterans and their families.
Tom Hanks recently starred in the film "A Man Called Otto."
What was the inspiration behind Hanx for our Troops?
According to the Hanx website, Hanks wanted to create a brand that supports U.S. troops and their families. "We saw HANX as a way to support Veterans and military families." In serving veterans, the brand says, "We tell their stories, we honor them, we celebrate them, and we’re leaving no one behind."
All profits of sales will go to the partnering veterans' organizations. As Hanks shared to Instagram in November, "All profits means every nickel beyond the making and shipping and such."
Here's where you can buy Hanx for our Troops.
Of course, Hanx for our Troops is available for purchase through its website, GiveHanx.com. The coffee is available in three styles: ground coffee, coffee pods, and just-add-water coffee sticks.
Ground coffee is offered in a dark roast and a medium roast (they're called "First Class Joe"). The coffee Keurig-style pods are available in "Tom's Morning Magic Blend" and "Sgt. Peppermint" as well as "First Class Joe" flavors. You can also choose the convenient coffee sticks, which you can simply add hot water to for a cup of joe. First Class Joe and Tom's Morning Magic Blend are the coffee stick flavors.
Coffee pods can be bought in 18-packs, or you can get a 100-pack of First Class Joe.
