Dunkin’
Dunkin’ has previously been in hot water (or hot coffee, rather) for how it handles leftover donuts. A viral TikTok in 2021 showed that employees tossing 312 donuts and countless Munchkins in a single day.
The backlash that followed helped prompt the chain’s optional End of Day Donation Program, which allows franchises to donate surplus food to local nonprofits and hunger-relief organizations if they choose to participate.
Starbucks
A decade ago, Starbucks employees helped pioneer the idea of donating leftover food, and the Food Share Programwas born. All company-operated stores now pass along eligible unsold food to organizations that distribute it to food banks and pantries.
Over the past 10 years, Starbucks says the program has diverted more than 121 million meals from landfills. The company also receives a tax benefit for each pound of food donated, which it says it fully reinvests in hunger-relief efforts.
