Dear Friends,

At Down for Doughnuts, we are more than a doughnut shop—we are a community built on inclusion, opportunity, and joy. Our team includes six remarkable individuals with disabilities who bring passion and dedication to everything they do.

Today, rising ingredient and operating costs, along with declining donations, are creating challenges. Your support helps us provide:

· Fair wages for our team members

· An inclusive workplace where everyone is valued and supported

· Work and volunteer opportunities for students in the Mooresville High School Occupational Course of Study program

· Adaptive equipment that promotes independence and success

Some current equipment needs include (Partial List):

Automated espresso machine — $800

Automated door opener — $750

Donut glazer guide system — $1,590

Adjustable-height tables — $625 each

Adaptive coffee station — $10,750

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 88-2626019), all donations are tax-deductible.

Every gift makes a direct impact by creating opportunities, building confidence, and spreading joy throughout our community—one doughnut at a time.

Thank you for believing in our mission and helping us create a sweeter, stronger, and more inclusive community.

With gratitude,

The Down for Doughnuts Team
