Dunkin' announces $200,000 grant, free coffee and doughnuts for health care workers

Dunkin’ is providing a $200,000 grant to support health care workers experiencing trauma, as well as free coffee and doughnuts.

Through the grant, Dunkin’ and First Descents, an organization involved with “adventure-based healing,” will create the “Hero Recharge” Program to help health care professionals facing significant stress by improving their psychological health.

“Doctors, nurses, and first responders are on the front lines of the most devastating health crisis of our generation,” said Ryan O’Donoghue, Executive Director of First Descents.

Also, in honor of National Nurses Day, on Wednesday, Dunkin’ is offering a free medium hot or iced coffee and a free doughnut to all health care workers who visit participating Dunkin’ restaurants, including Western Pennsylvania locations.

“As a brand with a long heritage of serving those who serve, we appreciate and honor the heroic work and unwavering commitment nurses and health care professionals show every day,” said Dave Hoffmann, CEO of Dunkin’ Brands.
