This year we’ve all realized just how grateful and THANKFUL we are to our heath care workers. It’s been truly amazing to see this gratitude come through in many different businesses and organizations.

This week, Starbucks announced that for the month of December they would once again provide free coffee to “any customer who identifies as a front-line responder to the COVID-19 outbreak”, and as coronavirus cases surge again they NEED the extra boost!

Here’s the statement from Virginia Tenpenny, Starbucks vice president of global social impact: “Our hope with this is to reignite the movement of gratitude and to show those on the front line how much they are appreciated...for us, we believe that one way we can do this is by offering a free cup of coffee.”

Make sure you reach out to the front line worker in your life and say THANK YOU!
