Dutch Bros Shows Its Luv for Local Food Organizations for Dutch Luv Day
Dutch Bros’ Dutch Luv Day is marked for Tuesday, Feb. 14, and to celebrate Dutch Bros locations in Lincoln City, Newport, Seaside, and Astoria will donate $1 from every drink sold to local food organizations.
Dutch Bros locations in Lincoln City and Newport will donate funds from Dutch Luv Day to the Lincoln County Food Share, while Dutch Bros locations in Seaside and Astoria will support Clatsop Community Action Regional Food Bank. Funds raised on Feb. 14 will support these organizations as they continue to provide their community members with healthy and nutritious meals and to, ultimately, eliminate hunger in the area through food assistance, services and distribution partnerships.
“We are excited to celebrate Valentine’s Day by showing our communities love,” said Travis Boersma, Dutch Bros co-founder. “Dutch Luv Day is a day we are able to come together as a community to serve people who are in need of food.”
Dutch Luv Day falls on Valentine’s Day every year. All 277 Dutch Bros locations in the seven states in which the company’s operates donate $1 from every drink sold to local food organizations in their communities. Funds raised on Dutch Luv Day will support local organizations as they continue to fight hunger in our communities. All Dutch Bros locations are locally owned and operated giving each franchisee the opportunity to support organizations that are positively impacting community members.
Last year, Dutch Bros was able to provide over 1.6 millions pounds of food, or over 1.3 million meals for community members by raising $234,030 on Dutch Luv Day. The company looks to surpass this donation amount this year.
“No man, women or child should ever be forced to go without a meal, or have to chose between paying utilities bills or purchasing food,” said Travis. “These local organizations that we have the opportunity to partner with on Dutch Luv Day are working towards a common goal–to eliminate hunger in our communities.”
