Dunkin' restaurants in Western Pennsylvania will observe Hunger Action Month by giving back to those in the community facing food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic.

On Friday, regional Dunkin' locations will donate a dollar of every espresso beverage purchased in store or in the drive-thru to support area food banks.

Funds raised from this initiative will benefit the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, Greater Washington Community Food Bank and Westmoreland County Food Bank.

Also announced in September, the Dunkin' Joy in Childhood Foundation awarded the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank a $5,000 grant to support their goal of helping Western Pennsylvania residents facing food insecurity.
