One of our founding missions at Mighty-O is helping our community. That commitment has grown as we expand into the Ballard, and now Capitol Hill communities. We focus on community giving and awareness through outreach programs, including Operation Sack Lunch, donations to local food banks, and many local non-profits.
Recently, we donated 4,500 donuts to Northwest Harvest, a nonprofit food bank distributor operating statewide in Washington with a network of more than 380 food banks, meal programs, and high-need schools. Through this network, they provide more than 2 million meals every month.
