How Every Coffee at Wishing Cup Helped Make a Difference for Animal Shelters

Wishing Cup, a new cafe in Boston, donates toys, food, and supplies to animal shelters in Boston, Massachusetts.

Wishing Cup isn’t just about serving delicious coffee, matcha, and light bites. Every sip and bite supports a wish and makes an impact that goes far beyond the plate.

Each month, our community votes on real wishes submitted by people like you. Anyone can write down a wish, drop it in our wishing cup, and at the end of the month, we bring the winning wish to life. No catch. Just kindness.

At the end of July 2025, we granted our very first wish, which was a huge milestone for Wishing Cup, especially since we had just opened our doors, all thanks to your support.

How Customers Vote for the Winning Wish

Our team collects all the submitted wishes and invites our community to vote on Instagram for the one they want to see come true. Each comment counts as a vote, and the winning wish is then selected.

July’s Winning Wish

This month’s wish came from a Boston local who volunteers at animal shelters. She shared that while Boston shelters are well-run, there is always a high demand for food, toys, and essential supplies. Most shelters in Boston are non-profit, so every donation, from nourishing food to cozy blankets and cleaning products, makes a real difference.

Thanks to your continued support and every coffee, sandwich, and pastry enjoyed at Wishing Cup, we were able to make this dream a reality. Our team proudly delivered over $1,000 worth of food and essentials to the Copeland Animal Care and Adoption Center, one of Boston’s largest rescue organizations that provides safe, temporary homes for animals in need.

So next time you’re in Boston, make your way to Wishing Cup. Order a drink, write down a wish for yourself, someone you love, or the community. To learn more about Wishing Cup and our mission, visit this page: https://wishingcup.com/make-a-wish
