With 27 years in the hospitality industry, I've devoted my life to creating spaces where people feel welcome, valued, and at home. Grounds for Hope Coffee Shop in Eureka, Missouri, is the beautiful culmination of that journey — a faith-rooted café designed around community, connection, and comfort.
Hospitality has always been more than a job to me; it's a calling. I believe in cultivating environments where people can breathe, rest, and be reminded that they matter. At Grounds for Hope, every cup is crafted with that intention — to bring warmth, dignity, and joy to everyone who walks through our doors.
My greatest joy, however, is my family. I'm blessed with three wonderful children, six fantastic grandchildren, and the unwavering support of a man who encourages me, believes in me, and walks with me every step of the way. They inspire me daily to pour love, purpose, and excellence into this café.
At Grounds for Hope, every cup is more than a drink — it's an invitation to belong.
It's a reminder that hope is real, community is powerful, and life is better when shared one conversation, one smile, and one cup at a time.
