Second Harvest Food Bank received a $35,000 donation from Dunkin’ of greater Philadelphia to help fight hunger throughout the region Feb. 18.

This donation comes from Dunkin’ of greater Philadelphia’s Roast Hunger campaign, which began on Thanksgiving Day through Dec. 20. For every large hot coffee purchased by DD Perks® members, Dunkin’s Philadelphia-area franchisees donated $1 to five regional food bank partners, including Second Harvest Food Bank. This donation will directly support the food bank’s mission to obtain food and distribute it to people in need through area nonprofits and to provide resources for education and advocacy to end hunger.

Following the check presentation, local Dunkin’ representatives performed a volunteer session at Second Harvest Food Bank.

Second Harvest Food Bank distributes food to a network of more than 200 nonprofit member agencies in six counties. The nonprofit network includes emergency food pantries, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, and child-care and rehabilitation centers.
