About us

Do Good Donuts is a non-profit social enterprise that hires young adults with intellectual disabilities, developmental disabilities, and neurodiversity for work-based training. At Do Good, these trainee employees gain the skills, experience and confidence to thrive at work in the community.

When the pandemic put plans for raising funds for the first Do Good Donuts Café on hold, we pivoted to a farmers’ market model and have since sold more than 15,000 donuts. This summer, we are finally building our first Café and Donuts shop, set to open in the fall.
