If you’re looking for a simple way to spread some extra cheer this holiday season, your next Starbucks visit just got more meaningful. Throughout December, every Starbucks Four Cheese Flatbread you enjoy in the Philippines will help provide a nourishing school meal to a child in need around the world.
From December 2 to 23, 2025, Starbucks Philippines is partnering with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP)—the world’s largest humanitarian organization fighting hunger—on a global campaign with a heartfelt goal: to donate up to 12 million school meals.
How It Works: A Simple Act with a Big Impact
The mechanism is beautifully straightforward:
- You visit any Starbucks store in the Philippines.
- You order the delicious Four Cheese Flatbread.
- For every flatbread sold, Starbucks will donate the equivalent of one school meal through WFP’s School Meals program.
Behind the scenes, each qualifying purchase triggers a $0.25 donation from Starbucks to support WFP’s vital work, contributing to a global campaign with a maximum donation of $3 million.
More Than a Meal: The Ripple Effect of Giving
Why focus on school meals? For WFP, a meal in the classroom is a powerful tool for change. It provides children with the essential nutrition they need to concentrate, learn, and grow. But the impact extends far beyond the school walls. These programs also support local farmers by purchasing their produce and help stabilize communities, creating a sustainable cycle of benefit.
“A simple meal can change a child’s life and the future of their family,” says Noey Lopez, President of Starbucks Philippines. “Together with WFP, we are turning our shared compassion into concrete action—one meal, one child, one future at a time.”
Part of a Larger Commitment
This holiday campaign reflects Starbucks’ broader mission to be a community-focused company. “Our role goes beyond serving coffee,” explains Kelly Goodejohn, Starbucks Chief Social Impact Officer. “We invest in partnerships that uplift communities globally. Partnering with WFP allows us to bring hope and support at a significant scale.”
This initiative complements Starbucks’ ongoing hunger relief efforts in the Philippines, like the FoodShare Program (in partnership with the Philippine FoodBank Foundation and Grab Philippines), which has redirected over 2 million food items to communities since 2022.
