Donations from Dunkin, Citizens for Judicial Fairness, GOLO

 This donation comes from Dunkin’ of Greater Philadelphia’s 14^th annual Roast Hunger program, which began on Thanksgiving Day through December 15.

 For every large hot coffee purchased by Dunkin’ Rewards members, Dunkin’s Philadelphia-area franchisees donated $1 to the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation to help support regional food bank.

 All funds raised by the Philadelphia-area franchisees through the Roast Hunger program stayed in  the region.

 Local Dunkin’ franchisees and team members  also volunteer  on-site at Food Bank of Delaware packing food boxes.

 This year, Dunkin’ raised over $300,000 through its annual “Roast Hunger” program. Since 2011, Dunkin’ has raised more than $3 million through its program fundraising efforts.
