Starbucks and HandsOn Network are launching a campaign to support the President-elect’s call for national service. Working together, we can create the change we all wish to see.

From January 21-25, 2009, you’ll be able to find local volunteer opportunities at pledge5.starbucks.com. You’ll see how you can:
- support a local food bank
- provide skills to a nonprofit
- clean up your community
- walk or run for a cause
- mentor a child or teen
- help a local family in need

And during those five days, when you pledge 5 hours for the charity or cause of your choice, Starbucks will salute your work and dedication with a free Tall brewed cup of coffee in participating U.S. Starbucks stores (not valid at airports or Barnes & Noble locations). It’s just a small token of gratitude for the big work we can all do together.
