Some coffee shops serve drinks.
Places like Stir Coffee Company serve community. ☀️☕
Nestled right in the heart of Knoxville, Stir has quickly become one of those places people don’t just visit… they *count on*. A warm smile in the morning. A familiar face behind the counter. A cozy atmosphere that somehow makes the whole day feel a little more manageable.
And so much of that comes directly from the hard work, poise, and heart of Kim and her family, who have created something truly special for the Knoxville community.
For VNA Community Services Executive Director Michael Bennett, Stir has become a favorite morning stop before work — the kind of place where Kim often has the order started before a word is even spoken. Piping hot, perfectly strong, and capable of waking up a nonprofit director faster than hearing the phrase “unfunded mandate” at a board meeting. ☀️
And during “Sunshine for Seniors 2026,” Stir is serving up two featured drinks that directly benefit local seniors all month long:
☀️ Latte Sunshine — available hot or iced — a vanilla cupcake latte topped with salted caramel cold foam and drizzle that somehow tastes like summer itself.
☀️ Sunshine Sparkler — an energizing fuel drink bursting with orange, strawberry, and pineapple flavors that feels like sunshine in a cup.
Throughout the month of June, proceeds from these sunshine-themed drinks will help VNA Community Services provide meals and support to food insecure seniors throughout Knox County.
So stop in.
Grab your morning favorite.
Try something new.
Support one of Knoxville’s true local gems.
Because every sip helps make sure local seniors continue receiving the care, meals, and connection they deserve. ☀️💛
Huge thank you to Kim, her family, and everyone at Stir Coffee Company for helping us bring sunshine to Knox County seniors all month long.
