Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation gives $11,000 to Chattanooga Area Food Bank
The Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation recently announced a $10,000 award to the Chattanooga Area Food Bank, solidifying its commitment to bringing the simple joys of childhood to children battling hunger or illness.
With this grant, the Chattanooga Area Food Bank will be able to provide groceries for 30,000 meals in the area for those in need. Additionally, the foundation donated $1,000 to the food bank to help provide Halloween costumes for 100 kids in the Chattanooga area.
Grants from the foundation across the country help fuel a variety of programs for children battling hunger, including weekend backpack programs, mobile and school pantry programs, and after-school meals so children have access to food outside of school.
Since its inception in 2006, the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation has granted more than $45 million to national and local nonprofits.
“We are thrilled to be able to provide grants to amazing nonprofits that share the same vision of the Joy in Childhood
Foundation’s goal of bringing joy to kids where they need it most,” said Dave Baumgartner, local Dunkin’ franchisee. “Dunkin’ franchisees are committed to giving back to the communities we serve, and it is an honor to be able to support the Chattanooga Area Food Bank and enhance their programs to make children’s days a little brighter.”
CHUCK FLEISCHMANN
came out of hiding long enough to be nixed for House speaker nominee. Back into hiding till election time.
SPENDING $83 MILLION
on Montague Park while our schools crumble and our roads are in disrepair is criminal. Get your priorities right.
IMPROPERLY COVERED
commercial loads contribute greatly to Chattanooga’s litter problem. One unmarked officer writing citations on Highway 58 (route to landfill) would send a message.
a good try, Chuck. You got 10 votes. Better luck next time.
it takes an act of Congress to enact an act of Congress.
Riverbend next year is the only bad thing to happen in 2024 (and not Trump getting elected).
WELL, IT WAS THESE DAYS, I HOPE NO TWO WARS GOING ON,
open border, crime up, prices rising and Joe goes to the beach. Guess the basement got old. Full-time president? Nope.
IT APPEARS DONALD
Trump is trying to supplant Don Rickles as the King of Insults. How noble. Melania must be proud.
COVID IS RAMPING UP
just in time for the presidential election. Can the Deep State pull it off again? The nation will be watching.
Biden has control of the Middle East; Kamala, the border.
