Dunkin' will help vets with Iced Coffee Day

Dunkin' Donuts, the Canton-based chain of coffee-and-baked-goods shops, announced an Iced Coffee Day on April 21 that aims to benefit injured veterans.

On Iced Coffee Day, the price for a small cup of iced coffee will be reduced to 50 cents at participating Dunkin' Donuts shops, the chain said; for every small iced coffee purchased on this day, Dunkin' Donuts said it will donate five cents to benefit Homes for Our Troops, a nonprofit organization that builds specially adapted homes for severely injured veterans.

Dunkin' Donuts has created a special website about Iced Coffee Day; to visit it, please click here.

In December, Dunkin' Donuts said it began a partnership with Homes for Our Troops when the Dunkin' Brands Community Foundation donated $100,000 to the group to help support its "Build Brigades" programs.

A "Build Brigade" is a three-day construction blitz to get a house framed and doors, windows, roof, and siding installed, Dunkin' Donuts said in its press release.
