What has Starbucks said about the conflict in Israel and Gaza?

December 29, 2023 • 1 min read

Starbucks is a global company committed to providing a place where everyone feels welcome and a sense of belonging, anywhere in the world. Our hearts break for all affected by the violence and conflict in the Middle East. We’ve always condemned violence against the innocent.

Despite false statements spread through social media, Starbucks has never contributed to any government or military operation in any way.

What we do fund is food aid for communities in need. The Starbucks Foundation, along with global licensee partners, have provided over $3 million to World Central Kitchen to provide more than 1 million meals to families in Gaza.
