Spread 'Dutch Luv' On Valentine's Day

PORTLAND, OR — Spread the love this Valentine's Day by drinking Dutch Bros coffee. The popular Grants Pass-based coffee franchise announced Thursday its plan to donate to local food banks $1 from every drink sold.

In support of local families and individuals in-need, Dutch Bros will reportedly donate to 46 food assistance agencies in Oregon, including 15 in the metro area alone — such as the Oregon Food Bank, Southeast Community Church, St. Vincent de Paul, and SnowCap Community Charities.

Dutch Bros spokeswoman Angie Veek said each $1 donation, on average, can purchase 7 pounds of healthy and nutritious food.

This "Dutch Luv Day," Feb. 14, nearly 300 Dutch Bros locations in six states will participate.

"Every year we continue to be amazed by the support and outpouring of love that our communities provide to those in need," Dutch Bros Co-Founder Travis Boersma said in a statement. "We are proud to partner with these local organizations that are so committed to ending hunger."

According to Veek, the 2017 Dutch Luv campaign raised more than $250,000, helping assistance organizations purchase nearly 2 million pounds of food for local communities in-need.
