We want to do our part to CAPTURE KINDNESS, CHAMPION KINDNESS, & above all to CAUSE KINDNESS in our community.
We want to give back & invest in our community as much as possible. From day one, Palace has had a cause latte program. Over the years, the program has been further developed & improved upon, allowing the selected non-profit organizations to get the most out of their time as our highlighted cause. In 2018, we rebranded our cause latte program, calling it Kindness is the Cause. We believe that kindness is all around us, but sometimes goes unnoticed or unappreciated.
Originally, our management team selected non-profit organizations in our community to receive $1 of each of our monthly cause lattes sold. Over time, as we built our Palace brand, we realized that our impact could be even greater for these non-profits. We changed our monthly cause to a quarterly cause. Highlighting a non-profit for three months gave us more time to tell their story, raise funds for their organization, & grow awareness for what they do for our community.
We also decided to no longer randomly select the organizations: instead, we created an application procedure, where we choose 8-10 of those that apply to come & present to our team: letting us know what their organization does, what the funds would be used for & how we could best work with them to provide help. Then, at the end of the calendar year, our management team carefully selects the causes that we'll support in the upcoming year. It is by no means an easy task as there are so many wonderful non-profit organizations in our community. Once selected, we assign each nonprofit to a quarter, & meet with them again to discuss how we can best tell their story. In addition to receiving funding from our monthly cause latte sales, we utilize our social media platforms to tell our followers about the organization. We also partner with them for one action project during their quarter.
Our Kindness is the Cause program is a great way for community members to give back in a unique way & we absolutely love learning more about our causes & helping spread awareness about their missions. Not to mention, the monthly cause drinks are some of our guests favorite menu items that they look forward to seeing each year. The fact that they get to support a great cause while enjoying a great drink is just the icing on the cake!
2025 QUARTER FOUR CAUSE ORG
THE MARKET ON TIERRA BLANCA
The Market on Tierra Blanca was the first food pantry to open in Randall County. Their mission is to serve the food insecure of the area- including families, seniors (50+), & WT students- with a dignified experience that allows their clients to select the food they want & need. All clients & volunteers are welcome & treated with dignity & respect. While they follow the guidelines set forth by the High Plains Food Bank to qualify clients, they won't deny anyone in need!
Our Cause Drink of the Month
THE CRÈME BRÛLÉE
Alright Palace friends, it's the moment many of you have been waiting for. That's right, the Crème Brûlée is back! If you've never sipped on this drink before, we'll give you the lowdown: this one is rich caramel combined with a housemade butter pecan syrup, our houseblend espresso & half & half to create a creamy breve. But that's not all! To finish it off, we top it with brûléed raw sugar. It may seem like an indulgent treat just for you, but don't forget, every purchase helps out The Market on Tierra Blanca, which means your treat is also a treat for our community!
Next Month's Cause Drink
THE FIGGY STARDUST
Once the Halloween decorations are put away for the year, we all begin to think about winter & the seasonal specialties that come along with it. One of those is a key ingredient in next month's cause drink: the Figgy Stardust! This drink is made with steamed eggnog, housemade fig syrup, & topped with a generous sprinkle of toasted cinnamon. It's perfect for warming you up on those chilly winter days to come!
