Dunkin' Donuts is Brewing Joy for the Holidays with Local Hot Coffee Promotion and Return of "DDCoffeeJoy" Instagram Photo Sweepstakes

CANTON, Mass., Dec. 5, 2016

Additionally, in each market where a Dunkin' Donuts restaurant is serving free coffee, the brand will donate $1,000 to a local organization aligned with the Joy in Childhood Foundation's mission to bring joy to children whose lives are affected by health issues or hunger. Through the generosity of Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins franchisees, employees, vendors and guests, the Joy in Childhood Foundation raises funds to support partnerships with children's hospitals, food banks, and nonprofit organizations directly committed to serving sick and hungry kids. In total, Dunkin' Donuts will donate $15,000 in December as part of the "Brewing Joy" program.

The program begins in Chicago on December 12 with the first two Dunkin' Donuts restaurants that will be "Brewing Joy." Guests can follow the Dunkin' Donuts blog for updates on participating restaurants and dates where guests can keep energized with a free medium hot coffee.
