Starbucks School Supplies Collection Drive

During the month of August, twenty Louisville area Starbucks stores put out collection boxes to help us collect school supplies for students in orphanages and low-income families in developing countries.
This drive was spearheaded by the St. Mathews Starbucks manager Karen Larkin who is supporter of our cause. Thank you Karen for organizing this for the first time and we hope to come back for many more drives.

We will continue to hold such collection centers for people to think about recycling school supplies and also donating new ones. Of course, it is difficult for someone to remember to bring school supplies when going to Starbucks. But the goal is to have the information out there so Starbucks goers can make it a habit.

We always welcome ideas for spreading the news about UniKids' mission. Please contact us at smareligne@unikids.org to let us know of the next great idea.
