In April 2025, World Food Program USA and Starbucks Coffee Company announced a new collaboration in support of a World Food Programme initiative to improve the resilience, food security, and nutrition of coffee-growing communities in Guatemala connected to Starbucks supply chain.
The two-year program focused on food security will help 600 households — about 3,000 people — diversify family incomes and enhance access to nutritious food, with a strong focus on indigenous women and children.
Through tailored, hands-on training, participants will gain vital entrepreneurial skills to expand business opportunities, strengthen agricultural value chains, and promote healthy lifestyles in their communities.
“As a global company that works with more than 400,000 coffee farms, we are proud to invest and support programs that strengthen our promise to farmers to ensure a sustainable future of coffee for all—underscoring the decades-long commitment that we’ve made to coffee farmers and farming communities. We are honored to join efforts with World Food Program USA to create valuable impact for coffee growing communities in Guatemala by improving nutrition and the resiliency of food access.” — Kelly Goodejohn, Starbucks chief social impact officer
