“Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others” - Philippians 2:4
Donating Donuts
We end every day by boxing up all of our leftover donuts at each location. These donuts are then delivered to shelters and non-profits the next day. Places like New Life Center, Ronald McDonald House, Salvation Army, Churches United, YWCA Shelter, Great Plains Food Bank, and more all receive Sandy’s Donuts.
This has been a wonderful blessing to so many people, including us.
Unseen Guardians
At Sandy’s, we believe making an impact should be part of everyday business. That’s why we’re proud to support Unseen Guardians, an initiative fighting human trafficking through the power of business. As part of our commitment, Sandy’s donates on behalf of our team members for every shift worked. This employee incentive is rooted in our core value of community, and we estimate it will contribute over $15,000 each year to support the fight against human trafficking. In addition, we’re donating $2 for every Donna’s Dozen sold, turning your favorite donuts into a force for good.
Unseen partners with businesses like ours to create sustainable funding for vetted anti-trafficking organizations around the world. These partners provide rescue operations, safe shelter, medical care, counseling, and job training to vulnerable individuals and survivors of trafficking. Unseen also equips more than 30 nonprofits with high-impact marketing materials at no cost to them. This support helped raise over $7.1 million in 2024, directly impacting more than 257,600 lives across the US and in countries like Bangladesh, Cambodia, and the Philippines. We are honored to support this mission. Every shift worked and every donut sold is a step toward creating a safer, more compassionate world.
Giving Hearts Day
Sandy’s partners with Jail Chaplains for this annual day of giving. Jail Chaplains is a nonprofit that works directly with the 7,000 inmates that pass through the Cass County Jail every year. Bible Studies, individual counseling, faith-based chemical dependency programs, and mentoring are just a few of the things offered by Jail Chaplains.
Every Tuesday, we drop off donuts for the men’s Bible study, but the big event happens in February on the Tuesday before giving hearts day. We make as many glazed heart shaped donuts as we can and donate a portion from every dozen sold.
National Donut Day
This is one crazy day! We partner with the Salvation Army of Fargo to bring awareness of their services and to raise money. They are a perfect fit since National Donut Day began with them many years ago. Back in World War 1, Donut Lassies from the Salvation Army would deliver donuts on the front lines for the troops. The Lassies and their donuts truly helped boost moral for those soldiers.
Sandy’s donates hundreds of our house donuts for the Salvation Army to give away. We also give away over 1500 of those same donuts in our stores. That is just the tip of the iceberg on this day. We make another 15,000 donuts or more to sell in our three stores, donating a portion from every dozen to the Salvation Army. This community loves donuts, and they love to support the Salvation Army. Order in advance or come early, because they go fast!
