Doughnations

The Doughnation Program

At Blue Heron Bagels, we believe good food has the power to bring people together and create positive change in our community.

Through our Doughnation Program, a portion of our proceeds is donated each month to a nonprofit organization, community initiative, or local cause making a difference. From supporting food pantries and educational programs to helping families and community organizations in need, each Doughnation allows our customers to be part of something bigger than a bagel.

Every purchase helps us continue our mission of giving back, strengthening our community, and supporting the people and organizations that make it a better place to live, work, and grow.

Since launching the Doughnation Program, Blue Heron Bagels has contributed thousands of dollars to charitable organizations and community initiatives while also organizing community fundraising events through Bakers Give Back.

Thank you for helping us turn bagels into impact...one Doughnation at a time.
