Our bakery is powered by purpose—and by a dedicated team of over 40 individuals, including our incredible bakers and the support volunteers who stand beside them.
We provide meaningful, hands-on work that empowers our bakers to grow their skills, confidence, and sense of belonging. Every cookie, loaf, and pie is made with pride and care.
Right now, our biggest challenge is space. We’re currently operating from a makeshift kitchen in Nyack, but we’re actively searching for a permanent home—a space where we can build a fully equipped kitchen and a welcoming storefront. A space that truly reflects the heart of our mission.
To keep moving forward, we need your help.
Your donations will go directly toward production costs and help us take the next step toward building the kind of inclusive bakery our team—and our community—deserves. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a real impact.
To those who support us regularly, enjoy our baked goods, and always have a kind word: thank you. You’ve helped us get this far, and with you at our side, we’ll keep rising.
