donation requests

As a company proud to be part of our local communities & committed to social endeavors, we have allocated an annual budget for donations. While we appreciate that every cause is worthwhile, we unfortunately cannot say yes to all requests. Believe it or not, we get roughly 50 donation requests each month! We normally give preference to organizations that support causes related to our employees, such as diabetes, elder care, disabled, animals, arts & non-profit organizations that provide needed services for our neighborhoods. We also prefer to donate cheese trays & nibblies that can be enjoyed by a number of organization supporters.
We ask that requests be e-mailed to donations@venissimo.com or snail-mailed to Venissimo Donations,
754 West Washington, San Diego, CA, 92103.
Please send your request as far in advance as possible, as our budget tends to get shared rather quickly!
Because of the volume we receive, we are unable to respond to everyone. So if you don't hear from us,
we have committed elsewhere at the time. However, feel free to contact us again in the future as we strive spread out our support to a wide variety of causes.
