In support of the USO's efforts around Fleet Week, Dunkin' Donuts will provide breakfast service every morning to the visiting members of the sea-services and will also make a cash donation of $10,000 to The USO of Metropolitan New York.

"The USO helps so many people on a daily basis and Dunkin' Donuts is proud to be partnering with them for this program."
As part of this partnership, Dunkin' Donuts plans to donate gift cards, travel mugs, and over 1,000 pounds of coffee and baked goods in support of over thirty military appreciation programs throughout the year including homecomings, deployments, wounded warrior retreats, family appreciation days, and so much more. The Dunkin' Donuts & Baskin-Robbins Community Foundation is committed to ensuring the safety of our neighborhoods through partnerships with organizations such as the USO.
