Your morning coffee run just got a lot more impactful.
Starbucks Canada has launched a holiday campaign that turns your lunch into a charitable act.
Starting now, the coffee giant is teaming up with the Breakfast Club of Canada.
The goal is to fight food insecurity across the country.
Here is how the simple math works for you.
For every Grilled Cheese on Sourdough purchased, Starbucks will donate two school meals to children in need.
This applies to orders at company-operated locations all over Canada.
It is a small tweak to your daily routine that creates a tangible difference.
The initiative is running from December 2nd through January 5th, 2026.
The brand has stated clearly that no child in Canada should have to start their day hungry.
This is part of a massive global effort to donate up to 12 million meals to children facing hunger.
In Canada, the donations go directly to strengthening school nutrition programs.
These programs are vital for ensuring kids are nourished and ready to learn.
It builds on the company’s existing FoodShare program which rescues unsold food.
However, this specific campaign puts the power directly in your hands.
You do not need to donate extra cash at the register or sign up for anything.
You just have to choose the grilled cheese when hunger strikes.
If you are looking for an excuse to skip packing a lunch tomorrow, this is it.
You have until January 5th to eat a sandwich and help a neighbour.
