DOUGHJO USA exists to glorify God by loving and serving people in the name of Jesus through handcrafted wood-fired pizza.

But pizza isn't the mission. People are the mission.

Every pizza opens the door to a conversation.

Every conversation creates an opportunity to share hope.

Every relationship points people toward Jesus.

Over the past year, God has allowed us to serve hundreds of handcrafted wood-fired pizzas at homeless outreaches, affordable housing communities, churches, and community events throughout Middle Tennessee. We've seen firsthand how something as simple as sharing a meal can break down walls, build genuine relationships, and create opportunities to share the Gospel.

Your Gift Makes an Impact Today

DOUGHJO USA isn't raising money for an idea—we're already serving communities today.

It costs approximately $5 to make and serve one handcrafted wood-fired pizza.

Every pizza is served free of charge during our outreach events and creates an opportunity to build relationships, share hope, and demonstrate the love of Jesus through both actions and truth.

Whether your gift provides one pizza or one hundred, you're helping us meet practical needs while opening doors for meaningful conversations that point people toward Christ.

At the same time, you're helping build the future of DOUGHJO USA.

Because we don't simply want to serve more people.

We want to become a ministry equipped to serve communities every week, create meaningful second-chance employment, partner with churches, and respond quickly when disaster strikes.

Why We're Raising $250,000

We're not raising money simply to buy a pizza trailer.

We're building the foundation for a sustainable ministry that can serve people for years to come.

Our next major milestone is building a fully health-department-compliant mobile pizza ministry.

After months of planning, we already have the trailer design, manufacturing partner, and commercial wood-fired oven selected. The estimated cost to build the trailer is $104,444.06.

Designed for efficiency and outreach, this trailer will be capable of serving up to 100 handcrafted wood-fired pizzas per hour.

To us, that doesn't simply mean more meals. It means more conversations.

More relationships. More opportunities to share the hope of Jesus. Because pizza isn't the mission.

People are the mission.

The remainder of this campaign will fund the tow vehicle, generator, startup operating capital, staffing, permits, equipment, and infrastructure needed to launch this ministry with excellence and long-term sustainability.

We've done the planning. We've counted the cost.

Now we're trusting God to provide through people who believe in this mission.

Your generosity will help launch a fully operational mobile pizza ministry capable of serving communities consistently throughout the year.

More Than a Pizza Trailer

This campaign isn't about building a food trailer.

It's about building a ministry.

A ministry that can:

Serve communities every week through consistent outreach.
Create meaningful second-chance employment opportunities for people rebuilding their lives.
Partner with churches to reach their communities through hospitality and the love of Christ.
Respond with hot meals during disasters and times of crisis.
Build relationships that lead people toward Jesus.

Every dollar helps build something that will continue serving people for years to come.

Why Second Chances Matter

While serving pizza during one of our outreach events, Blake met a man named Bruce who had recently experienced homelessness.

A few weeks later, Bruce asked if he could work with DOUGHJO USA.

At the time, we simply weren't in a position to hire anyone.

That moment confirmed something we'd already been praying about.

There are countless men and women who are ready to work, rebuild their lives, and move forward—but often struggle to find someone willing to give them an opportunity.

Our vision is to change that.

As DOUGHJO USA grows, we hope to create meaningful employment where people are known not by the mistakes in their past, but by who God created them to be.

The Vision

This campaign lays the foundation for the next chapter of DOUGHJO USA.

Our prayer is to become a ministry that serves communities week after week through:

Consistent outreach
Second-chance employment
Church partnerships
Disaster relief
A sustainable social enterprise that helps fund future ministry through pizza sales

Every pizza sold creates another opportunity to serve.

Every outreach creates another opportunity to build relationships.

Every relationship creates another opportunity to point someone to Jesus.

Join the Mission

Whether you give $5, $25, $250, $25,000, or become a monthly supporter, you're helping provide meals today while building a ministry that will impact lives for years to come.

If you feel called to make an even greater impact, we're also looking for individuals, families, churches, and businesses who want to help bring this vision fully to life.

Examples include:

10 partners giving $1,000
25 partners giving $500
50 partners giving $100

Or any amount God places on your heart.

Every gift matters. Every prayer matters. Every partnership matters.

Pizza opens the door. Relationships change lives. Jesus changes hearts.

Thank you for believing in the mission of DOUGHJO USA and helping us share the love of Christ—one pizza, one conversation, and one life at a time.
