When a disaster strikes in coffee-and tea-origin countries, Starbucks support is readily available. Starbucks has appointed CARE as our official agent for disaster response. Together, we established the Starbucks Emergency Response Fund to ensure our immediate support in a crisis. In financial year 2002, Starbucks donated £120,000 ($200,000) to this fund.
