The Starbucks Foundation and Starbucks licensee partner PT Sari Coffee Indonesia announced a joint donation of IDR 5 billion ($314,000) to World Central Kitchen to enable the nonprofit to provide over 100,000 meals to people in Gaza.
Celebrating its 22nd anniversary in Indonesia, the donation further underscores the company’s commitment to the community. This donation builds on the $3 million contribution made by The Starbucks Foundation and Alshaya Starbucks to World Central Kitchen earlier this year.
“In response to the situation in Gaza, we are extending our support to the World Central Kitchen, which is at the forefront of responding to the hunger crisis and providing vital food aid to people in need. Our philanthropic support together with The Starbucks Foundation exemplifies our enduring mission to strengthen humanity, one that has formed the cornerstone of our journey over the past 22 years in Indonesia,” said Anthony Mc Evoy, leader of PT Sari Coffee Indonesia. He also added, “Our Indonesian partners (employees) furthermore are committed to making a collective donation in May. Lastly, we will continue to support this initiative by giving a percentage of sales of our handcrafted beverages and whole-bean coffee sourced from Sumatra. Efforts like these demonstrate and highlight how we are working to bring our promises to life.”
