Our Story
Hello! I’m Tony, a Camarillo, California-based baker with deep Tuskegee, Alabama roots. My great-grandfather moved to Tuskegee from Waco, TX, in 1917 to attend what was then the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. After graduating, he married my great-grandmother, opened an appliance store where the Golden Rule was a core business value, and prioritized local church missions.
Our family has lived in Tuskegee ever since.
In 2024, I founded Coverall Donuts to honor my family's Tuskegee legacy and positively impact my Southern California community.
At Coverall, we bake delicious homemade donuts and give them all away for free.
Our community-sponsored donut program is funded entirely by donations from local church sponsors. Each month, various churches contribute $500, allowing us to make 144 donuts. We distribute these donuts to complete strangers throughout Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Los Angeles counties. We honor the generosity of our sponsors by handcrafting each batch of donuts with care and sharing the good news of the Gospel.
To honor my family’s Tuskegee church roots and the many years of Tuskegee prayers that have covered us, Coverall Donuts gives 4% of the donut program’s profits to organizations actively engaged in Tuskegee, Alabama, church missions. We are proud to announce that our first donation will go to Alabama Rural Ministry.
