S&D Coffee & Tea, the largest coffee and tea manufacturer and a provider of coffee and tea extracts to restaurants and convenience stores in America, announced a long-term partnership with The Dunkin’ Donuts & Baskin-Robbins Community Foundation (DDBRCF), which raises funds to support nonprofit organizations making a difference in communities across the U.S.

“As a coffee, tea, and extracts supplier for National DCP, the $2 billion supply chain management company serving the franchisees of Dunkin’ Donuts, we are proud to partner with The DDBRCF in their goal of bringing joy to sick and hungry kids through partnerships with organizations like food banks and children’s hospitals,” says Steve Cole, chief operating officer with S&D Coffee & Tea.

In a ceremony held yesterday, representatives from S&D Coffee & Tea presented a commemorative check to signify their Diamond level partnership with The DDBRCF and its grant program. Among The DDBRCF grant recipients are several North Carolina nonprofits: Charlotte's Exceptional Youth Athletes, Second Harvest Foodbank of Metrolina, New Hanover Regional Medical Center, and Interfaith Food Shuttle.

“On behalf of The Dunkin’ Donuts & Baskin-Robbins Community Foundation and Dunkin’ Brands franchisees throughout the country, we appreciate S&D Coffee for their generous support,” says George Ross, Dunkin’ Donuts franchisee and volunteer co-chair of the Southeast Chapter of The Dunkin’ Donuts & Baskin-Robbins Community Foundation. “Their contribution will go a long way in helping us achieve our mission to bring joy to sick and hungry children in our communities.”
