On Veterans Day, Friday, Nov. 11, Starbucks will be again offering free coffee to active military service members, veterans and military spouses. This year, the purveyors of Pike Place have broadened the offer to include iced coffee as well.
“At Starbucks, we believe veterans, service members and military spouses make our company better and communities stronger,” a Starbucks spokesperson said in a statemen to TODAY Food. “With Veterans Day around the corner, we wanted to share with you how Starbucks will continue to honor the military community on November 11 and beyond.”
The coffee chain is also donating $200,000 this year to two veteran-focused nonprofits as well. The money will be split evenly between Team Red, White & Blue, an organization focused on veteran health and wellness and Team Rubicon, an organization that uses military veteran’s expertise to provide disaster relief.
