Based on this support, the company is also conducting heat wave relief programs for at-risk populations. On the previous day, Starbucks visited Hanam Disabled Welfare Center to deliver air circulators and cooling blankets together with the mobile coffee trailer 'S:BuckCha', and provided iced beverages and cookies to welfare center users and their families.

Introduced for the first time in April this year to mark Earth Day, S:BuckCha is a mobile coffee trailer that was created through about six months of planning and production, and is a program that visits diverse venues to serve coffee and food.
Starbucks plans to expand the operation of S:BuckCha through customer participation campaigns in the future. The trailer will visit selected locations based on submissions of stories from individuals, communities, and organizations dedicated to serving society or needing encouragement, as well as those from vulnerable groups.
