Responsible Members of the Community

Saint Germain Catering is committed to being a responsible member of the community. We believe we have a responsibility to do what is right, not only for our business but also for the community in which we serve. Our actions demonstrate our values. If your organization is interested in receiving support from Saint Germain Catering, please contact at (703) 506-9396.

Over the years, we have been happy to support our local community and charitable causes. We've fed firefighters during September 11th, donated proceeds to Hurricane Katrina efforts, and sponsored non-interventional veterinary research at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Veterinary Medicine. We're always looking for new friendships and partnerships to form that can help those in need. A few causes we support:

Bite Me Cancer

Bite Me Cancer was formed as a nonprofit foundation in September, 2010, by Nikki Ferraro, who was 17-years old at the time. Nikki was diagnosed with a rare form of thyroid cancer in April 2010 when she was a junior at Chantilly HS in Virginia. Nikki was determined to lead a Relay for Life team just two weeks after her diagnosis. She named the team Bite Me Cancer and experienced immediate success. Saint Germain Catering has created a dozen of decorated cupcakes to help raise money for Thyroid Cancer in teens. The proceeds from the sales will be donated to Bite Me Cancer.

Battle Mammary Cancer in Dogs

Get a tasty treat with Saint Germain Catering and help battle breast cancer in dogs. 100% of our cupcake proceeds go toward U Penn's Tumor Research Program. Order delicious cupcakes today - and help Saint Germain Catering take a bite out of canine breast cancer.

The 25TH Project

The purpose for The 25th Project is to provide essentials for the homeless once a month. Most of us get busy with our lives and forget the need that is out there in the community. On the 25th of each month they have the opportunity to serve the homeless. The 25th Project feels that we can effectively help others for not only this year but for years to come. Saint Germain Catering is proud to sponsor food donation and other supplies such as tents and blankets throughout the year to this organization.

Mina Ebrahimi Foundation

Our very own Mina Ebrahimi has a foundation designed to assist women entrepreneurs accomplish their goals. This foundation has been a dream of Mina's for many years, and Saint Germain Catering is excited to see it come to fruition.

Operation Homefront DC

Saint Germain Catering cares about military families and has donated $25,000 to Operation Homefront DC. This organization works to support military families in the Washington DC area.

Penn Vet Working Dog Center

Man's best friend works as hard as man - and needs similar support! Saint Germain Catering has given a $1,500 donation for K-9 training products. With the love and support of a working dog, there's nothing the police can't accomplish.

Dog Anesthesiology Research

Dogs get sick and need relief from pain just like any human. Saint Germain Catering has given a $2,500 donation to help conduct a study on how best to administer pain medication to dogs.

Interventional Paws

Our very own CEO, Mina, has started this non-profit to help needy pet owners get the veterinary care necessary for their beloved animals. Veterinary care can be expensive, and Saint Germain Catering is happy to help!

Ovarian Cancer Detection Program

The Penn Vet Working Dog Center, Penn Physics Department, Penn Medicine’s Division of Gynecologic Oncology, and the Monell Chemical Senses Center have joined together to study ovarian cancer detection by dogs and e-sensors.
