On April 26th, 2012 Starbucks partners and customers joined together to pack meals to feed area children and their families specifically targeting underserved areas of Seminole and Orange Counties. With just over 50 volunteers, we were able to exceed our goal of 10,000 meals in just under two hours.
Here is what our invitation looked like on the website.
Starbucks Global Month of Service
Florida, Packing Events April 26, 2012
Who: It’s the Starbucks Global Month of Service!

What: Volunteers will be hand-packing 10,000 nutritious meals. There will be great music, good fun and the chance to make a meaningful difference here in our community during this meal packing event.
