[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] On the 28th, Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Heo Seok) saw the birth of the 11th Starbucks Talent Donation Cafe, the first of its kind in Jeollanam-do.
The No Plastic Cafe, previously operated by Suncheon YMCA, has been newly renovated.
The Starbucks Talent Donation Cafe is a social contribution program that transfers operational know-how such as facility and interior upgrades, barista training, and store management support to outdated cafes in community institutions where youth, elderly, disabled, multicultural families, and vulnerable women work.
At the opening ceremony held that day, Suncheon Mayor Heo Seok, Starbucks Coffee Korea CEO Song Ho-seop, and Suncheon YMCA Chairman Shin Taek-ho attended to celebrate the new start of the 11th Talent Donation Cafe together.
Starbucks CEO Song Ho-seop said, “We are pleased to open the 11th Talent Donation Cafe supporting eco-friendly activities and youth employment in the Suncheon area,” adding, “We will continue various support activities to coexist with the local community.”
