Nowadays, many multi-national companies take part in charitable campaigns that aim to help disenfranchised children, families and/or communities. Starbucks is one of those companies. However, what separates Starbucks from the others is their ability to mobilize and inspire their store and district managers to seek out and team-up with charities in their own communities. In this sense, store and district managers go above and beyond their job description and above Starbucks’ corporate social responsibility campaigns.
With that being said, I want to highlight a truly admirable campaign that 40 stores in New Jersey are currently taking part in. It’s called the Angelwish Foundation. And together with these Starbucks stores, Angelwish is granting wishes to millions of children around the world who live with chronic sicknesses – asthma, diabetes and HIV, just to name a few.
With Starbucks’ help, you can learn more about this campaign online and donate right from your home computer. It’s simple and even though you may not be able to visit one of the 40 stores in New Jersey participating in Angelwish, you can grant a wish, in any amount, through the online donation system.
I urge you to visit Angelwish’s Facebook page and learn more about this great campaign. Also, don’t forget to follow them on Twitter @angelwish.
And don’t forget to read Starbucks Melody’s blog post on Angelwish.
No child should have to live with sickness, especially during the holidays, so for this Christmas, help grant a wish to those who truly deserve it.
Have a very happy and blessed holiday season.
