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.

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.
