Our community has given so much to us, and we love to give back as much as possible!

grounds for giving

4 times a year we hold Grounds For Giving events to support a particular local non-profit. The non-profit receives 10% of our sales for that day, as well as promotion on our social media to highlight the good work they do. Our next Grounds for Giving recipient will be AARF, on August 20th, 2025.

Previous recipients include:

  • The Shalom Project
  • PeaceWork Medical
  • LEAD Girls
  • Big Brothers Big Sisters
  • Forsyth Humane Society
  • Positive Wellness Alliance
  • City with Dwellings

We have scheduled our other Grounds for Giving events for the next year, and we will announce each one here each quarter. If you work with a local non-profit and would like to be considered for a Grounds for Giving event in the future, email us and let us know what’s special about your non-profit!

arts & innovation grants

Twice a year we award an Arts & Innovation Grant of $500 to an artist or an innovator for enriching our community.

Applications for this year's Artist Grant are now open through November 7th. Apply here!

Previous Recipients:

Our 2024 Artist Grant recipient was Lillie Morris of Mothership Studios.

Our 2024 Innovation Grant recipient was Mourning Feather Douglas.

Congratulations to both of these worthy grant recipients!

hope du jour

We participate every year in Hope du Jour, an annual fundraiser for Crisis Control. In 2024 we donated 10% of sales from all our locations for the day of May 7th to support the wonderful emergency assistance Crisis Control gives to members of our community in times of need.

giving throughout the year

Throughout the year we donate to many worthy organizations. We donate all of our leftover pastries & bread every day to Sunnyside Ministry.

Because of the volume of requests we receive, we limit our donations to non-profits that work in the arenas of social justice, poverty, the arts, women’s rights, and LGBTQ+ rights. We typically do not donate to bake sales. To request a donation, please email us at donations@caminobakery.com and be sure to include details such as when you need your donation, how many items you need, and information about your organization.
