I’m really proud of Starbucks for finding an inventive way to boost their brand but also for really executing properly. So many large companies ask you to do your part to make a difference but so many of them throw a URL on the television screen with zero follow-up. Starbucks has won my heart again with their “I’m In!” Campaign.<\/p>\n

\"Go<\/a><\/p>\n

They’ve teamed up with Hands on Network to connect Starbucks drinkers to LOCAL events where they can volunteer to help the community. I entered my zip code and saw three places that I’ve volunteered at before. The great thing about this site is I’ve dealt with the struggle of getting in touch with or finding institutions who accept volunteers. The Hands on Network makes it SO EASY!<\/p>\n

It’s summer-time which means you’re either out of school for the summer, the kids are out of school or you are planning on hitting parks & beaches on the weekend. Do yourself and the world a favor and pick 2 weekends this summer to volunteer. Sign up, schedule a time and do it! You might actually enjoy yourself.<\/p>\n

I just signed up to prepare food at Glide Memorial Shelter in a few weeks and if anyone wants to join me just let me know.<\/p>\n
