Can Muffins have a Mission?
Ours do!
Our muffins empower homeless and employment-challenged individuals to start new lives full of hope, meaning and achievement.
Our muffins empower homeless and employment-challenged individuals to start new lives full of hope, meaning and achievement.
As part of Central Union Mission’s Pathways to Success program, our employees learn baking, retail, marketing and business skills that help make them ready for the job market.
At Mission Muffins, we believe we can replace dependence (“Will Work for Food”) with responsibility (“Will Work for My Future”), pairing the employee’s potential with his or her determination to succeed. Regardless of the past (poverty, abuse, addiction, illiteracy, violence, ill health, prison, etc.), we believe each person can have a purposeful future.
During their training period, we work with local businesses and agencies to find them permanent employment or entrepreneurial opportunities. Employees live and eat at the Mission at no cost and save their wages for permanent housing.
Every time you purchase one of our delicious products, not only are you getting the best baked goods money can buy, but you are helping to train and equip a homeless or employment-challenged individual to return to society. For those who simply want to help, you can make a donation to the Mission Muffins program which also helps buy ingredients, pay wages, and provide room and board for the men we serve.

We also have a variety of our delicious baked goods on hand daily!Introducing Breadcoin
Did you know that there’s a way to both buy from us and contribute to the broader good of the community? It’s called Breadcoin. We are proud to be the first vendor to participate with Breadcoin, which is a food token that people can buy and hand out to anyone they’d like to feed. It’s redeemable for food (ONLY) at a participating location like ours (over 40 vendors total). Breadcoin is a way of providing dignity and human connection, and we are seeing it work effectively on the streets of D.C. (and, now, beyond) where so many people want to give meaningfully to alleviate someone’s hunger but aren’t always sure if cash is the answer. Of course those who purchase them can use them themselves too, which helps to ensure that the entire network flourishes. You can also become a monthly contributing member and Breadcoin volunteers will get them into the hands of those who need them. Learn more and buy breadcoins here.
