Helping Harvest Food Bank received a $8,500 donation from Dunkin’ of greater Philadelphia Monday morning to help fight hunger throughout the region. This donation comes from Dunkin’ of greater Philadelphia’s Roast Hunger program, which began on Thanksgiving Day through December 9.

For every large hot coffee purchased by DD Perks members, Dunkin’s Philadelphia-area franchisees donated $1 to five regional food bank partners, including Helping Harvest Food Bank.
