Evergreens and Make-A-Wish Alaska & Washington and Make-A-Wish Oregon are united by a shared commitment to bring joy and hope to local children facing critical illnesses. Together, we aim to leverage the power of community and the love of good food to make dreams come true.

In addition to donations from our summer menu of Fresh Dishes Fulfilling Wishes, Evergreens is proudly fundraising for Make-A-Wish - will you join us by making a gift today?

When a wish is granted, a child replaces fear with confidence, sadness with joy and anxiety with hope. The majority of wish kids go on to beat their critical illnesses, and research shows that a wish can help children build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight - giving them a better chance of surviving and thriving.

Every day, 70+ children are diagnosed with a critical illness and count on donors like us to help make their wish come true.

Thanks for the support!

“Remember the fun of raising money with lemonade stands as a kid? We're taking the same idea and giving it right back to the families who need it most by partnering with Make-A-Wish. We're hoping to bring the local community together this summer and, ultimately, provide life-changing wishes for children. To do that, we, of course, wanted to bring an Evergreens twist, so get ready to see citrus take over our locations, all with a charitable tie." - Ian Courtnage, CEO of Evergreens

“Make-A-Wish is the business of creating life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. We're only able to provide these moments of respite, hope, and joy because of the incredible support of our community, including local partners like Evergreens. We are so grateful to Evergreens for their commitment to wishes and for helping to turn lemons into lemonade for our local wish kids and their families.” - Jeannette Tarcha, VP of Communications and Marketing of Make-A-Wish Alaska and Washington

“We are so appreciative of every single effort to grant life-changing wishes to local children with critical illnesses. This partnership with Evergreens means even more because they are caring for our community one healthy meal at a time. In addition to my personal forever love of a great salad, I am specifically a huge fan of Evergreens as a company. Win-win partnerships are the absolute best.” - Laila Cook, CEO of Make-A-Wish Oregon
