Why Are We Giving Away a Pound of Dunkin’ Donuts Coffee?
Well, two reasons, really. First, we want to thank our volunteer blood donors for literally giving of themselves to help others in need.
Second, winter is a time when blood donations can drop to dangerously low levels. It’s the flu and snow season after all! If the promise of the best coffee in the world helps encourage donors to brave the cold, it’s worth the investment.
Why Is My Blood Donation So Important?
When patients need blood to help save their lives, they need it immediately. So when blood donations drop, this leaves patients at risk.
We're talking about patients undergoing cancer treatment, premature babies, accident victims, stroke and heart attack victims, patients undergoing organ transplants.... The list goes on, and may include you or someone you know.
But there’s one thing everyone on this list has in common: patients in need of blood rely entirely on the generosity of strangers like you.
Come for the Coffee, Leave with a Lifesaving Habit!
Think you like great coffee enough to come out in the cold?
Trust us: the warmth of your free pound of Dunkin’ Donuts coffee is really just an added bonus. It doesn’t compare with the warmth you’ll feel knowing you may have just helped save up to three lives! In fact, we hope you’ll make a new, lifesaving habit.

Every two seconds someone in the United States needs blood. But only 5% of the eligible donors in the U.S. give blood in any given year. Despite all medical advances, healthy volunteer blood donors are the only source of blood.
Blood is needed for emergencies and for people who have cancer, blood disorders, sickle cell, anemia and other illnesses. Some people need regular blood transfusions to live.
Many people say they have never given blood because they haven't been asked. Please, consider yourself asked. The need is real. The need is now.
