Short Description
Prevail Mix is a distribution and online sales 501(c)3 non-profit offering pancake/waffle, cake and corn muffin mixes with all profits going toward hiring street survivors (individuals in the homeless system). Prevail Mix has already freed a person (Daniel Velner) from transitional housing to open up a room for an individual on the streets: a two for one.

All Prevail Mixes use organic ingredients sourced from local farms (when available). Most mixes are gluten- and aluminum-free, include high protein corn meal, can be prepared for vegan and lactose-free diets, and are made with only the addition of milk or milk substitute. These are currently being sold at Hampden Co-op and Brake Bread in Saint Paul, Minn.
