As part of our mission, Native Foods supports global and community causes that (1) promote compassion to all living things; (2) provide for a healthier planet (e.g., protecting the environment, promoting sustainability and recycling programs); and (3) provide healthier food options for everyone.
In addition to sponsoring events, Native Foods also regularly makes contributions to organizations aligned with our mission, like during Native Community Days, twice a month.
What is Native Community Days? Well, we think Earth Day should be celebrated every month here at Native Foods Cafe! So we choose 2 days each month for Native Community Days and it's our time to give back to YOU, our valued guest, the environment, kids programs, community garden projects, and animal organizations. For these two days, each guest receives FREE DESSERT with the purchase of an entree, side, and Native drink! And on each day, we will donate a portion of sales to a different organization who is locally active in the community.
The most recent organizations to receive our support are:
