This Thursday, February 19, Second Harvest Food Bank will received a $31,500 donation from Dunkin’ of Greater Philadelphia to help fight hunger throughout the area. This marks the region’s 15th annual Roast Hunger program, which began on Thanksgiving Day and ran through December 17, 2025. For every large hot coffee purchased by Dunkin’ Rewards members during that period, Dunkin’s Philadelphia-area franchisees donated $1 to the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation to support regional food bank partners in their efforts to end hunger. Funds raised are granted back out into Philadelphia communities through the Foundation.
Additionally on Thursday, February 19, local Dunkin’ franchisees and team members volunteered at Second Harvest Food Bank, packing food and providing coffee and donuts to others in attendance.
This year, Dunkin’ raised over $350,000 through Roast Hunger. In addition to Second Harvest Food Bank, the funds benefit additional food banks, including: Philabundance, Food Bank of Delaware, Food Bank of South Jersey, Helping Harvest Fresh Food Bank, Second Harvest Food Bank (A Program of Community Action Lehigh Valley) and Community FoodBank of New Jersey. Since 2011, Dunkin’ has raised more than $3.4 million through its program fundraising efforts.
