Blue Star
Families

We empower families to thrive as they serve. We are committed to strengthening military families by connecting them with their neighbors to create vibrant communities of mutual support.
For every military eGift purchased in May, Starbucks will donate $5 to be shared evenly between Blue Star Families and Travis Manion Foundation to support those who serve, veterans, and their families.
