Members of the local community and Dunkin’ fans alike poured into Dunkin’s newly remodeled next generation restaurant at 1040 Westchester Avenue in The Bronx on Thursday, November 5, as part of its grand reopening ceremony.
Dunkin’ franchisee TBG Food Acquisition Corp. commemorated the occasion by making a $3,000 donation to Hunger Free NYC in conjunction with the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation. A Bronx-based affiliate of Hunger Free America, Hunger Free NYC assists in providing food assistance to low-income New Yorkers and supplies local food panties with volunteers through its Volunteerism Department.
“On behalf of Hunger Free America (HFA), thank you to TBG Food Acquisition Corp. and the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation for this generous support, which will help to power HFA’s strategic volunteerism program, supporting volunteers fanning out to food pantries and soup kitchens across New York,” said Hunger Free America Director of Development Sharon Hametz.
Representatives from Bronx Community Board 2 and representatives on behalf of New York City Councilman Justin Sanchez joined the celebration and participated in a commemorative ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The event featured the first 100 guests in line at 9 a.m. receiving a free medium Dunkin’ Hot or Iced Coffee for 100 consecutive days, while others spun the Dunkin’ prize wheel for free Dunkin’ merchandise and enjoyed music from a DJ.
The newly remodeled, 1,200 square-foot Dunkin’ employs 12 crew members and is open daily from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m.
