The Joy in Childhood Foundation, an independent organization powered by Dunkin' and Baskin-Robbins, is celebrated #GivingTuesday by awarding a total of $2 million in funding to 150 organizations nationwide, including $10,000 to the Bread Shed of Poplar Bluff.
When children face health and hunger issues, it robs them of the simple joys of childhood. The Joy in Childhood Foundation's mission is to help kids feel like kids, even on their most difficult days. The grants given in honor of #GivingTuesday align with this mission and have a history of making a lasting impact on kids' lives.
"We're excited to celebrate Giving Tuesday with nonprofit organizations in communities like Poplar Bluff that share our commitment to bring joy to children who are battling hunger or illness," said Karen Raskopf, Co-Chair of the Joy in Childhood Foundation. "We know how critical the services provided by these organizations are to kids in Poplar Bluff, which is why we're so proud to support their work."
Additionally, from now through December 24, guests who purchase a Dunkin' gift card online will also have the opportunity to support kids battling hunger or illness when they make a donation to the Joy in Childhood Foundation through a donate button at checkout. All donations will support the Joy in Childhood Foundation's efforts to bring joy to children and their families.
