HAMPTON ROADS, Va. — The holiday season can be tough for those struggling with their mental health.
One Virginia-based charitable foundation, Matthew Smiles, is hoping to spread hope and shine a light on the importance of mental health.
Matthew Smiles has teamed up with Dunkin’ franchisees to do just that.
From Saturday, December 17 through Sunday, December 18, guests who donate $2 to the foundation at participating Dunkin’ restaurants in Richmond and Hampton Roads will receive a specialty Matthew Smiles donut as a thank you.
The special donut is a yeast donut ring topped with vanilla frosting and finished with a chocolate icing smile.
One hundred percent of funds raised will benefit Matthew Smiles’ mission to help fund programs and resources that foster education around mental health and create stable, non-threatening environments for kids to be open about their mental health with their families and one another.
“Matthew-Smiles is focused on helping kids and their families understand and bring awareness to mental health,” said Lou Cabral, Dunkin’ Franchisee and Co-Founder of Matthew-Smiles. “With the generous support of our customers and fellow Dunkin’ franchisees in Richmond we will continue Matthew’s legacy of educating our youth and providing support for those suffering from depression.”
