Regift Starbucks
Are you in a profession that gets a TON of Starbucks gift cards? Teachers, daycare, even students are given small Starbucks gift cards as though it’s the national currency.
Regift them to people living on the street. Even a small purchase provides WiFi, charging and bathroom access.
How to do it:
That $5 coffee you didn’t really want could be a game-changer for someone struggling with living on the streets. Wifi access is essential to apply for services or jobs. Bathroom access is a game-changer. Starbucks advertises themselves as a “third place” where people can gather, but they changed their policies to require a purchase, so make those cards in your junk drawer go to work!
If you don’t want to hand out cards directly, or you have a lot of accumulated cards, take them to a homeless shelter for distribution, or leave them near an unhoused campsite.
NOTE: this is not a recommendation to BUY Starbucks gift cards. We recommend purchasing small gift certificates from local shops instead.
