Members of the local community and Dunkin’ fans alike poured into Dunkin’s newly remodeled next generation restaurant at 3151 Lawson Blvd. in the hamlet of Oceanside within the town of Hempstead on Saturday, June 21 as part of its grand reopening celebration.
Dunkin’ franchisee Rocky Sheikh of FRJ Lawson Donuts, Inc. commemorated the occasion with a $3,000 donation to the Long Island Cares, Inc. in conjunction with the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation. Long Island Cares brings together all available resources for the benefit of the hungry and food insecure on Long Island to support the humanitarian needs of the local community.
“Long Island Cares is deeply appreciative of this generous donation from Rocky Sheikh and the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation,” said Long Island Cares Corporate Philanthropy Manager Kaylin Wasilchuk. “With these funds, we will be able to provide 1,890 meals to our neighbors in need. We are extremely grateful for Rocky’s continuous generosity in the fight against food insecurity on Long Island.”
Nassau County District Legislator Patrick Mullaney; Oceanside Fire Chief Sean Costigan; and former U.S. Congressman and current nominee for the Inspector General of the United States Department of Labor Anthony D’Esposito joined the celebration and participated in a commemorative ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The morning featured the first 100 people in line at 9 a.m. receiving free medium hot or iced coffee for 100 days, while others spun the Dunkin’ prize wheel for free Dunkin’ merchandise and enjoyed a complimentary photobooth.
The newly remodeled, 2,500 square-foot Dunkin’ employs 16 crew members and is open daily from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m.
