доня (DONYA)“special daughter” in Ukrainian. Every recipe here has one behind it.

Finding Ukrainian food in Alberta used to be a whole thing.

Unless you knew a baba with a free Saturday, your options were pretty grim. We fixed that.

😩 Before DONYA

  • ✕Freezer-aisle perogies that taste like the box they came in
  • ✕Driving across the city for one “good” bag
  • ✕Beet soup from a jar that has never met a Ukrainian grandmother
  • ✕Another catering tray of sad sandwiches
  • ✕Waiting until Christmas Eve for proper holubtsi

Let’s clear something up

We’re not a charity. We’re a company with a mission.

DONYA is a social enterprise: a real food business that earns its money by selling great food. We don’t ask for donations. We ask for your order. Every bag you buy pays a paycheque to a Ukrainian woman rebuilding her life in Canada.

Our story

Started by a group of “DONYA”s.

When war came to Ukraine in 2022, we opened a donation centre in Edmonton. Thousands of newcomers came through our doors. Then something happened: the women we’d helped started cooking. That food was too good to keep to ourselves.

2022Donation centre serves ~20,000 Ukrainian newcomers
2023DONYA kitchen opens in Edmonton
