Frankie D’s Donuts is a local social enterprise creating handcrafted donuts and meaningful community experiences rooted in connection, care, and mental health.

Founded in 2020, Frankie D’s began as a small-batch donut business and has grown into a community-centered organization that uses food as a way to bring people together. Our donuts are handmade from scratch using real ingredients, hand-cut, beautifully imperfect, and intentionally designed to be shared. 

What makes Frankie D’s different is what happens around the donuts.

Across cultures and communities, food has always been a way we gather, connect, and care for one another. We use donuts as a familiar, comforting entry point to create spaces where people feel welcome, included, and safe to be human. Through our work, we help reduce isolation, strengthen social connections, and make honest conversations feel more accessible.
