The Dunkin' Donuts & Baskin-Robbins Community Foundation announced it is making it easy for guests to show the spirit of giving and help make a difference for local communities in November through its second National Community Cups Program.

Beginning Nov. 2 and continuing through the month, Dunkin' Donuts guests are invited to make a $1 donation to DDBRCF at Dunkin' Donuts and Dunkin' Donuts Baskin-Robbins multibrand restaurants nationwide, according to a company press release. In appreciation for their generosity, participants will receive a paper icon, featuring the Dunkin' Donuts coffee cup, to sign and display at the restaurant or take home. As an additional thank-you for ' support, this year the paper icon also includes a special coupon that can be redeemed for $1 off the purchase of a dozen donuts on their next visit.

"Last year, with the incredible support of our loyal Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins guests, The National Community Cups Program — along with the Baskin-Robbins Cakes for a Cause program — helped us raise more than half a million dollars to support our local communities," said  Karen Raskopf, Dunkin' Brands' chief communications officer and co-chair of The Dunkin' Donuts & Baskin-Robbins Community Foundation (DDBRCF). "On behalf of Dunkin' Brands' franchisees throughout the country, we are happy to welcome the holiday season this year by bringing back this program for an entire month, and we look forward to continuing our efforts to help the neighborhoods we serve."

The National Community Cups Program will support The DDBRCF's efforts to serve local communities by raising funds to support charities that address hunger, children's health and public safety. This is the second consecutive year DDBRCF has launched this initiative. Last year's program, along with Baskin-Robbins' Cakes for a Cause National Paper Icon Fundraiser, raised over half a million dollars nationwide.

Dunkin' Brands Group Inc. has more than 11,500 Dunkin' Donuts restaurants and more than 7,600 Baskin-Robbins restaurants.
