To honor nurses on National Nurses Day on Wednesday, May 6, Dunkin’ is offering a free medium hot or iced coffee and a free donut to healthcare workers who visit participating Dunkin’ locations. No purchase is necessary to redeem the offer while supplies last. The offer excludes Cold Brew and Nitro Cold Brew and isn’t valid on mobile orders.
“As a brand with a long heritage of serving those who serve, we appreciate and honor the heroic work and unwavering commitment nurses and healthcare professionals show every day,” said Dave Hoffmann, CEO of Dunkin’ Brands. “Their selfless sacrifices inspire all of us to come together to do everything we can to support our communities.”
The free coffee and donut is one of several ways Dunkin is giving back during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation is providing support to nurses and healthcare workers experiencing trauma due to COVID-19 in the form of a $200,000 grant to First Descents, the global leader in adventure-based healing. Through this grant, First Descents will create “Hero Recharge,” a first-of-its-kind initiative designed to leverage adventure-based wellness programs to help healthcare professionals facing significant traumatic stress by improving their psychosocial health.
“In partnership with the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation, our goal is to address this trauma through unforgettable outdoor adventures that will nurture supportive peer relationships and give these heroes the respite and renewal they deserve,” said Ryan O’Donoghue, Executive Director of First Descents.
Through funding provided by Dunkin’, its franchisees, and its foundation, hundreds of thousands of free cups of coffee, donuts, Keurig K-Cup pods, and Dunkin’ gift cards were delivered to more than 300 hospitals and emergency sites, including Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, among others.
Most Dunkin’ shops are open for carry-out and drive-thru orders, with order ahead on the Dunkin’ mobile app with select locations also offering curbside service.
