I just received a note from Peace House ( the school I volunteered at in Africa) and they received $1000 from Starbucks for my time there!
The Starbucks "Make Your Mark" program lets individuals or teams of partners earn up to $1000 for a non-profit by matching their time with Starbuck's money. Because I did over 100 hours of volunteer work in Tanzania, Starbucks gave $1000. I hope the library where I spent most of my time is able to get more shelves for the many books still waiting to be catalogged.
If you are a Starbucks partner and you're already volunteering, please talk to your manager or check out http://lifeat.sbux.com to register for a partner match. It's a simple process, you've already done the hard part by giving your time! If you aren't involved with volunteering, please consider doing so. If you can get a team of partners together to volunteer, just think how quickly you could reach that 100 hours and earn $1000 for an important organization.
