Starbucks & ATT Team Up for LA Fire Relief
Kudos to Starbucks and AT&T for their efforts in helping out with the efforts to fight the LA fires and assist those who are displaced by them.
I’m always a big fan of those companies who give “better than money” in community efforts - businesses that estimate how their expertise can assist in ways that a community might not even have considered. That’s what this effort by Starbucks Coffee and AT&T is - a sharing that grows from the things they do best.
As of this past Monday and continuing through September 15, Starbucks is providing free coffee at all the fire staging areas and Red Cross refugee evacuation sites. In addition, AT&T is providing free WiFi at 19 Starbucks stores in the area affected by fire so that those displaced can stay in touch with family and business connections during any time that they’re access is disrupted.
