Starbucks will honor those who have served with FREE coffee this Veterans Day

At Starbucks, they believe Veterans and Military Spouses make their company better and communities stronger. With Veterans Day just around the corner, they want to share with you how Starbucks will be honoring the military community this year. 

While Veterans Day is only one day out of the year, Starbucks commitment to support the military community is a year-round effort. 

Here’s more about Starbucks ongoing military commitment: 

• Starbucks has hired 30,000 veterans and military spouses since 2013, and are committed to hiring 5,000 more each year. 
• They have dedicated 78 Military Family Stores across the nation to-date. Starbucks Military Family Stores are located near major military bases and are designed to hire and honor soldiers, veterans, and their families. 
• They are dedicated to supporting service organizations like Headstrong and Team Red, White & Blue who help veterans as they transition to civilian life, continue to develop as leaders, and leverage their skills and passions to positively change communities. 

 

• They offer partner (employee) benefits specifically for active duty military and military families, including Military Service Pay, which provides up to 80 hours of pay each year when National Guard or Reserve service obligations take them away from their work with the company.
• Veteran partners can extend our Starbucks College Achievement Plan benefit it to a qualified family member for 100% tuition coverage for a first-time bachelor’s degree through Arizona State University’s online program.  
• As a company, Starbucks remains focused on breaking the stigma around mental health through partnerships, advocacy and awareness – including in the military community.
