Dandee Donut Factory Recognizes National Suicide Prevention Month

The Dandee Donut Factory, home to more than 50 donut varieties and delicious diner food, is pleased to announce it has selected the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), Massachusetts Chapter as the beneficiary of its ‘Donuts That Make A Difference Campaign for September 2023, in honor of National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month.

‘Donuts That Make A Difference’ is a new campaign that launched in August 2023, where customers can purchase a specialized donut each month to benefit a non-profit organization. The first month benefitted MSPCA-Angell and all specialty donuts sold in September 2023 will benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), Massachusetts Chapter, dedicated to saving lives and bringing hope to those affected by suicide.

“Mental health is a big concern for many members of our community,” said David Ferrara, General Manager, The Dandee Donut Factory in Revere. “We look forward to raising lots of money for AFSP during the month of September to support the amazing work they do. It’s a delicious way to make a difference.”

“Our mission is to save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide across the Bay State,” said Jessica van der Stad, Executive Director of the AFSP Massachusetts Chapter. “We appreciate that Dandee Donuts wants to raise awareness and funds to help as we work to create a culture that’s smart about mental health by delivering prevention programs, educating the public about risk factors and warning signs, raising funds for suicide research and programs, and reaching out to those individuals who have lost someone to suicide. We hope that everyone will go to Dandee Donuts and buy this month’s specialty donut to support the fight to stop suicide.”

Donuts to benefit AFSP will be available at The Dandee Donut Factory, located at 1141 Revere Beach Parkway in Revere, Massachusetts, every day during the month of September, while supplies last.
