Coffee to Cocktails

Victoria Kidd Armstrong makes espresso martinis and community change with equal skill — and on this episode of The Valley Today, she tells Janet Michael how Hideaway Cafe, her "coffee to cocktails" spot on Winchester's Old Town Walking Mall, has quietly funneled nearly $75,000 in cash and in-kind donations back into the community over its 11 years in business. Janet and Victoria dig into how Hideaway's One Plate One Purpose bingo card turns customer dollars into real meals for people in need, how Declan's Shelter Pup Program (and current mascot Miso) helps get shelter dogs adopted, and how Victoria's 13-year-old daughter is already running her own mini philanthropic fundraisers. Along the way, Victoria shares practical advice for any small business owner who wants to build giving back into their day-to-day model — no big budget required.
