This is so awesome! Each time I see this amount growing I feel so different about flattening and emptying those thousands of bags!

And we keep collecting!

Thanks to everyone,

Anna

Coffee bags, scrap metal and GC

Anna, I have a bag o bags. They aren't flatten and ready to ship but I do have a large bag of empty 5 lbs bullets. Can anyone swing by to pick them up.? I also have some scrap metal that we were gonna throw out as well as a ton of old gift cards if anyone wants them. Let me know. I can probably swing by flower bill monday to drop it all off if that would be easier.

Thanks Christina

How cool is this?

$74.86 as of today! That is 3,743 coffee bags! This is fantastic! Thank you all who relentlessly collect the bags for us! Could not do without you!

I am on vacation at the moment, but had to go to work for a second (left my Relay for Life paperwork behind ). I opened a closet and there were three humongous trash bags full of coffee bags. And then I get an e-mail from Ginger from Mid Pike Plaza asking me what she should do with those 4 boxes full of coffee bags... Don't I just love it?

You all are awesome and I just wish I could also have all the bags from Hawaii that I can't get via UPS ground.

Thank you for all your support, keep collecting! After this last shipment we will redeem the points and donate them to our Relay for Life team Starbucks Cares!

Because we really care: for finding the cure and for our environment.

And then we will star all over again for next year! I hope that you will join us again.

Love you all,

Anna

We have $47.74

in our Coffee Bag Brigade account as of last Friday (4/13/2012). Three boxes (600 bags together) were shipped today! It is so awesome!

Keep collecting and let us know if you have bags to be picked up!

Thanks to everyone for your support,

Anna

Aloha Sarah and Team Waianae,

Mahalo for your first donation of coffee bags we were able to start a box collection at the office. You were the first - thanks for leading the way.

Everyone please be sure to drop off at the office your flattened and emptied 1 lb Starbucks Coffee Bags for our Coffee Brigade program.

Mahalo,

Nita and Team Town and Country

Anna,

It won't let me join the traah brigade! I have a bunch of bags for you. I am not sure how many there are. Let me know if you need me to drop the off or if someone is pickin them up. And can you add me to the project so I can get my points towards the badge? If not let me know.

Thanks

Christina

Any bags collected?

communityservice@starbucks.com — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 10:21:26 GMT

$33.90 on my Terracycle coffee bags account! That means that so far we have shipped 1,695 bags (and two boxes of 200 each are on their way). We have about until the end of April to ship the rest of the bags and collect the money to make sure that it gets to our ACS Relay for Life team Starbucks Cares! on time (I can claim it only twice a year).

Please let me know that you have them boxed (it must be 200 of them), I will bring the label or make sure that they will be picked up (Ginger, I am coming on Tuesday or Wednesday next week, I promise!)

Thank you so much for being involved and contributing to a good cause!

TOGETHER WE WILL FIND THE CURE AND LIVE LIVES WITHOUT CANCER!

Hawaii wants to help!

communityservice@starbucks.com — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 02:31:33 GMT

Hi!

We were so excited to help from here in Hawaii. If you postmark it ourselves and send the bags to you can we still help? We have a lot of bags saved already!!!

Let me know,

Heather

Oahu partners:

If you save your coffee bags, I will collect them from you. We need a minimum of 200 to send them out. Contact me when you have a few, and be sure to remind partners not to throw them out!

Is this project maxed out?

communityservice@starbucks.com — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 23:47:50 GMT

Anna,

No one from First Field has been able to join this project. Is there a cap on the number of volunteers you can have?

Anyone needs their bags to be picked up?

communityservice@starbucks.com — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 13:15:33 GMT

Remember, we need to ship them in increments of 200! We are more than happy to get them out of your stores (in Gaithersburg - Germantown - Rocvkille - Bethesda - etc. MARYLAND area). Please call 301-330-5770.

Thanks, Anna
