Dunkin’ looks to jolt Foxborough folks without power with free joe

It’s a caffeinated mission of mercy of sorts.

Dunkin’ Donuts said it is dispatching one of its sampling vehicles to Foxborough to give away free hot and iced coffee to morning commuters who have experienced power outages this week as a result of Tropical Storm Irene.

Plans call for the vehicle to be stationed at the Dunkin’ Donuts at 16 Washington St. until 11 a.m., the Canton-based coffee-and-baked goods chain said.

Why Foxborough? Dunkin’ said that yesterday it asked its Twitter followers to tweet local towns that are still without power following Sunday’s storm. After reviewing those tweets, Dunkin’ decided that Foxborough was in desperate need of free joe.
