Food Bank Getting Major Donation On Halloween In Anne Arundel County

CROWNSVILLE, MD - Dunkin' is donating $10,000 to the Anne Arundel County Food Bank on Tuesday. The donation will benefit the weekend meal Backpack Buddies program, which feeds more than 1,000 students in 36 Anne Arundel County Public Schools

The foundation fights food insecurity with community pantries and after-school meals. The foundation also supports children battling illness with specialized camps and therapy.

The foundation also recently donated another $1,000 to the food bank to help kids get Halloween costumes.

Dunkin' will celebrate Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the food bank, located in Crownsville at 120 Marbury Drive.

There will be a check presentation at 10 a.m.
