Dunkin' Donuts Foundation Awards $13,000 Grant to Support Boys & Girls Clubs of Warwick’s Healthy Habits Program

The Dunkin’ Donuts Foundation has awarded a $13,000 grant to support the Boys & Girls Club of Warwick’s Healthy Habits: Cooking Up a Storm initiative.

The Healthy Habits: Cooking Up a Storm initiative is a program designed to teach children the importance of eating well to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The year-long program includes interactive nutrition discussions; hands-on cooking activities; restaurant field trips; gardening lessons; and several other educational activities that highlight healthy habits.

By participating in this program, local BGCW members will be challenged to increase their nutrition knowledge and skills; gain a better understanding of portion sizes and the principles of food groups; and, ultimately, make more responsible food choices whether they’re at home, at school, or anywhere else.

Dunkin’ Donuts’ Joy in Childhood Foundation provides the simple joys of childhood to sick, hungry or otherwise underserved kids. Since 2006, the Foundation has donated more than $11 million to hundreds of children’s hospitals, food banks, and other charitable organizations across the country.
