Starbucks announced on Tuesday that it will donate 100% of the leftover food from its 7,600 stores to food banks across the U.S. In a bid to fight hunger and food waste, the coffee-giant has teamed up with nonprofit organization Feeding America and Food Donation Connection to donate perishable items like Starbucks bagels and bistro boxes to those in need after closing time. How it will work is the organizations will pick up the perishable food from Starbucks locations via refrigerated trucks each day and bring it to food banks and shelters to be eaten within 24 hours of the pickup. The hope is to help tackle food insecurity in American and to inspire other companies to do the same with their unsold food.
