Starbucks is slated to be one of the first megalithic chains in the U.S. to donate 100 percent of its unsold food. The company announced a comprehensive charity collaboration in a recent press release, upping its game in the fight against food waste.

The chain has been donating surplus baked goods since 2010, but this expansion will also include all refrigerated perishables, such as fruit cups and sandwiches.
