Dunkin’ will be celebrating the results of its “Iced Coffee Day” by presenting The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts with a $3,000 donation. Iced Coffee Day has generated more than $6,000 for non-profits in the Berkshires since 2019.

The special check presentation also comes in advance of the upcoming National Dunkin’ Day. On Tuesday, September 29th, participating Dunkin’ restaurants in the Berkshires will celebrate National Dunkin’ Day by offering a free medium Hot or Iced Coffee with any purchase.

The presentation of the donation from “Iced Coffee Day” to the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts will be made at the Dunkin’ location at 19 First Street in Pittsfield at 1:00 PM on Wednesday (9/23). On hand will be Eric Stensland, Field Marketing Manager, Dunkin; Jillian Morgan, Corporate Relations Officer, The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts; and Dunkin’ Franchisees from the Berkshires.

During the one-day event on August 26, Dunkin’ franchisees donated $1 from every cup of Iced Coffee sold at participating Dunkin’ restaurants in the Berkshires to The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts.
