SEATTLE — With the second wave of COVID-19 overwhelming the country's first responders and health care workers, Starbucks is doing what it can to make their season a bit brighter.
The coffee company will give all front-line caregivers a free tall brewed coffee at its stores throughout the entire month of December.
“It has been an extraordinarily difficult year, especially for the front-line responders who are serving our communities,” said Starbucks vice president Virginia Tenpenny. “We want to show our deep gratitude for those who support and protect us every day with a small gesture of kindness and a cup of coffee.”
Front-line responders just need to identify themselves to a Starbucks employee to receive their free coffee through December 31.
Starbucks also donated $100,000 to the National Alliance on Mental Illness so it can continue to provide first responders the mental health resources they need.
