Starbucks Corp. said it will give away a free tall brewed coffee Jan. 21-25 to any customer who pledges to donate five hours or more of volunteer community service.
The Seattle coffee giant is teaming with the nonprofit HandsOn Network of Atlanta, which has 270 local U.S. centers that work with more than 31,000 nonprofit organizations.
“Five hours is just 25 minutes a month for a year, two afternoons at a food bank creating care packages, a day reading to children at a hospital or in a park planting trees,” said Vivek Varma, senior vice president of global affairs of Starbucks, in a statement.
To qualify for the free coffee, customers must fill out a pledge card to donate five hours of time. Local volunteer effort opportunities can be found at handsonnetwork.org.

Another PS - BryGuy, go get yours...
Final PS - If I pledge to do more than 5 hours do you think they'd give me a chai instead of a coffee?
