CANTON, Mass., Dec. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- With the
holidays fast approaching, Dunkin' Donuts is brewing a little extra
joy for its guests and communities throughout the busy weeks ahead,
serving up its signature hot coffee for free at select Dunkin'
Donuts restaurants across the country. To celebrate the joy and
warmth of the season, for one weekday between Monday, December
12 and Friday, December 23,
nearly 30 Dunkin' Donuts restaurants somewhere in the U.S.
will offer 500 guests a free medium hot coffee, served in the
brand's festive holiday cups featuring the word "JOY" (timing
varies by location).
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.
Dunkin' Donuts is also spreading joy throughout the holiday
season with its #DDCoffeeJoySweepstakes photo and video
sweepstakes. Beginning today, December
5, and continuing through December
23, each week Dunkin' Donuts will provide a new holiday
