Centerstone and Duke Bakery Partner To Thank First Responders On National First Responders Day

ALTON — Centerstone is teaming up with Duke Bakery to honor the courageous first responders who serve and protect the Alton community and beyond.

On National First Responders Day, Tuesday, October 28, all first responders are invited to visit Duke Bakery between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. to receive a free “Back the Badge” special — two donuts and a drink (milk or coffee) — courtesy of Centerstone and Duke Bakery. Centerstone is a nonprofit health system providing mental health and substance use disorder services.

“Our first responders dedicate themselves daily to keeping our communities safe,” Centerstone Regional CEO Anne Tyree said. “We’re honored to partner with Duke Bakery to offer a small token of thanks for their commitment and service.”

First responders may simply come in uniform or present an active first responder ID to receive their complimentary treat. The offer is available while supplies last.

Event Details: Tuesday, Oct. 28, 8-10 a.m.
Duke Bakery, 819 Henry St., Alton
