CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – This month, the Dunkin’ Donuts childhood foundation granted close to $37,000 to four locations throughout Middle Tennessee as part of the Dunkin’ Joy’s nationwide 2025 grant funding.
The Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation‘s mission is to provide the simple joys of childhood to kids battling hunger or illness. The Dunkin’ store in Clarksville received $10,000 in funding that will be used to supply nutritious food to over 60 children in 30 families and deliver 500 toys through our year-long Love at its Core Program.
“Dunkin’ is proud to see the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation’s impact in Middle Tennessee,” said Emilly Bartels, Dunkin’ Field Marketing Manager. “Through grants like these, we’re bringing comfort and care to local children and families – whether that’s through a peaceful space for healing or essential food support for those facing hardship.”
Other regional organizations that received funding included:
- Alive Hospice in Nashville received $10,000 in funding that will be used to support Alive Hospice’s Pediatric team in contracting a Child Life Specialist for children in hospice and those with a parent or sibling in care.
- MOMs Women’s Outreach received $6,950 in funding that will be used to provide backpacks, school supplies, and essential services to 200 children of single mothers.
- Nourish Food Bank in Murfreesboro received $10,000 in funding that will be used to purchase food and food bags.
Funding for the foundation is made possible through the generosity of Dunkin’ franchisees, brand employees, vendor partners, and guests across the country, said the release. Funds are raised through local and national efforts, such as Dunkin’ Iced Coffee Day and the Foundation’s annual Give Joy fundraiser, which raised more than $3 million this November.
