Thank you for making us a better company.

Veterans and military spouses play a vital role in strengthening our communities—and our company—through leadership, service and civic engagement. Veterans are more likely to vote, volunteer, give to charity and contact public officials compared to their nonmilitary counterparts.

That’s why, since 2013, we’ve hired over 21,000 veterans and military spouses, and we’re committed to hiring 25,000 by 2025.

Our commitment extends beyond hiring. We’re offering expanded benefits, including education opportunities. We have also opened 52 Starbucks Military Family Stores across the U.S., and plan to dedicate 80 more by 2022. These are places where veterans and military families can work, connect and find transition guidance and information.

Through our partnerships, our goal is to be the leading corporate advocate and voice for transitioning veterans, military spouses and military families.
