Throughout December, Starbucks will donate one school meal for every Starbucks Four Cheese Flatbread sold in the Philippines
Manila, Philippines, December 11, 2025 – Starbucks and the World Food Programme (WFP) are joining forces this holiday season to fight hunger around the world. Starbucks has pledged to donate a school meal, through WFP’s School Meals program, for every Starbucks Four Cheese Flatbread sold in the Philippines from December 2 to 23, 2025. Starbucks markets around the world, and over 23,000 coffeehouses, are participating in the hunger relief campaign with a goal of donating up to 12 million meals to children facing hunger around the world.
“At Starbucks, our role as a community coffeehouse goes beyond the coffee we serve – we invest in partnerships and initiatives that uplift and support neighborhoods around the world,” says Kelly Goodejohn, Starbucks chief social impact officer. “By partnering with organizations like the World Food Programme, and hundreds of local hunger relief groups, we aim to bring hope and support to communities facing hunger—showing how a global brand can make a local impact at scale.”
“Here in the Philippines, we see every day how a simple meal can change the life of a child and their family,” said Noey Lopez, Starbucks Philippines president. Together, we are leveraging WFP’s expertise and reach to deliver millions of school meals to children who need them most. There has never been a more important time to unite our strengths and turn compassion into action—one meal, one child, one future at a time.”
WFP is the world’s largest provider of school meals, reaching more than 20 million children in countries every year. In the classroom, school meals provide children with essential nutrition to stay healthy and focus on their lessons. Outside of the classroom, school meals programs lift children, families and entire communities out of extreme poverty by providing a market for farmers’ produce and creating jobs.
Beyond this campaign, Starbucks hunger relief strategies are aimed at donating unsold food, investing in food rescue infrastructure globally, and supporting long term improvements in food security in areas connected to where the company sources coffee. For example, in the Philippines, the Starbucks FoodShare Program—implemented in partnership with the Philippine FoodBank Foundation and Grab Philippines—has contributed to these efforts by providing more than 2 million food items to communities in need since its launch in 2022.
For eligible Starbucks Four Cheese Flatbread purchased between December 2 to 23, 2025, Starbucks will donate $0.25 to the World Food Program USA (www.wfpusa.org/starbucks) in support of the World Food Programme. This donation will provide up to 12M meals globally with a maximum donation of $3M globally.
