Whether you’re celebrating the Fourth of July or just enjoying a beautiful summer day, the Starbucks® Indivisible collection offers coffee and products that are a perfect complement to any summer occasion. All of the products in the collection are made or roasted in the USA and support the Create Jobs for USA Fund helping Americans get back to work.

 

Since the November 2011 launch, Create Jobs for USA has raised more than $11.5 million in donations, directly contributing to more than $80 million in lending to community businesses across the country. 100% of donations to the Create Jobs Fund are distributed to CDFIs that make loans to community businesses dedicated to creating and retaining jobs in underserved neighborhoods. As a result, it’s estimated the Create Jobs for USA program has helped create and retain nearly 4,000 American jobs in the U.S. so far.

 

To give people even more opportunities to demonstrate their support, Starbucks is introducing the Indivisible collection which is available at participating Starbucks stores in the U.S. and at www.StarbucksStore.com for a limited time, starting June 12. For each qualifying purchase from the Indivisible collection, a donation will be made to Opportunity Finance Network® (OFN) for the Create Jobs for USA Fund:

Indivisible Blend™ is proudly blended, roasted and packaged in the U.S., as with all whole-bean coffees Starbucks sells in the U.S. Indivisible Blend™ is a Starbucks® Blonde Roast coffee, made from a blend of washed Kenya and Ethiopia coffees. Its vivid, crisp acidity with sweet floral and soft citrus notes is reminiscent of a blooming garden – perfect for a summer gathering and great served hot or iced. When you purchase a one-pound bag of Indivisible Blend™ coffee, Starbucks will donate $5 to the Create Jobs for USA Fund.

 

Indivisible Blend™ will be available as a brewed option at participating Starbucks stores in the U.S. between June 11 and July 8. When you purchase a freshly brewed cup at a Starbucks store near you, Starbucks will donate $.05 to the Create Jobs for USA Fund. While supplies last.

 

There’s nothing better than taking a moment to yourself with the perfect mug brimming with your favorite blend of steaming hot, freshly brewed coffee. This new 12 fluid ounce Indivisible Ceramic Mug was created just for Starbucks by artisans at the American Mug & Stein factory in East Liverpool, Ohio. The factory has been perfecting the ceramics craft for 90 years, but had struggled in the current economy and with the continued outsourcing of manufacturing jobs overseas. The raw materials for the mug come from Tennessee, Ohio, Florida and Georgia. To view a video showcasing the American Mug & Stein factory and the positive impact the Indivisible Ceramic Mug has had on its employees, visit youtube.com/starbucks. When you purchase an Indivisible Ceramic Mug, Starbucks will donate $2 to the Create Jobs for USA Fund. While supplies last.

 

For those who lead a busy lifestyle, having a tumbler to enjoy your coffee on-the-go is essential. Treat yourself or a friend to the stylish gift of convenience with the 16 fluid ounce Indivisible Acrylic Art Tumbler. It’s the perfect pairing to our Indivisible Blend™ coffee – whether you’re enjoying it hot or iced. This product is made from 35 percent recycled material and is proudly made in Chicago. When you purchase an Indivisible Acrylic Art Tumbler, Starbucks will donate $2 to the Create Jobs for USA Fund. While supplies last.

 

Show your support for getting Americans back to work with the Indivisible Wristband. When you donate $5 or more to the Create Jobs for USA Fund at a Starbucks store or createjobsforUSA.org you will receive the wristband as a symbol of your support, and 100% of your donation goes directly to the Create Jobs for USA Fund. The wristbands are individually handmade in the U.S.A. and all component materials are manufactured by U.S. suppliers.
