Do Good Donuts and Cafe
Do Good Donuts and Cafe operates a social enterprise in Toronto that sells donuts and coffee while employing people facing barriers to traditional employment, including those experiencing homelessness, poverty, and mental health challenges. The cafe provides not just a job, but comprehensive training, mentorship, and support services that help participants build skills and confidence to pursue long-term employment. By purchasing donuts and coffee, customers directly support wages and benefits for staff members who might otherwise struggle to find work.

This approach combines genuine commercial viability with genuine commitment to economic inclusion.
