Global bakery manufacturer and ingredients supplier Dawn Foods has announced the 10 recipients of its $50,000 charitable donation as part of its #DonutsForGoodEntry promotion, which highlights the positive impact Dawn customers continually make in their local communities.

“Now more than ever, it’s imperative we continue to support our local bakeries as a way to recognize all the good they do within their communities,” said Carrie Jones-Barber, CEO of Dawn Foods. “The #DonutsForGoodEntry winners are a reflection of the countless good deeds bakers perform day in and day out around the world. As we celebrate our 100th anniversary this year, we recognize that Dawn’s success is made possible by the creative work of our customers who continue to do good in their communities.”
