‘Give a Pint, Get a Pound’ at All Southcoast Blood Bank Locations

“We are in great need of blood donations at this time of year, so we are especially pleased that Dunkin’ Donuts has partnered with us for the fifth year in a row,” said Nancy Chadbourne, Team Leader of the Southcoast Blood Bank. “The Dunkin’ Donuts ‘Give a Pint, Get a Pound’ partnership with Southcoast Hospitals supports our local community hospitals by keeping the local blood supply strong.”

All blood collected stays local and is used at Southcoast Hospitals.

Coupons are redeemable at participating Dunkin’ Donuts while supplies last.
