Some Charity With Your Morning Coffee

Almost every weekday, I start my workday off with a cup of coffee just like millions of Americans. In fact, there is a Dunkin' Donuts right next to my office building — actually sharing the same building — that I frequent.

When I stopped in on Monday, I noticed someone handing a Dunkin' Donuts branded travel cup to the young woman behind the counter for a refill. Then I noticed right next to the customer was a display of the cups with a description. As it turns out, Dunkin' Donuts is selling these travel cups, with coffee in them, for $3.99, with $1 from each sale donated and distributed among four regional food banks. As an added incentive, the cup gets customers 99-cent refills until Dec. 31. Talk about a great incentive for a great cause!
