Our intrepid bakers have been baking for three organizations that serve the homeless. We began in May 2020, and have baked, packaged and delivered over 12,000 cookies!!

We’re so excited to have you join us in person for our next Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley project on Saturday, April 30th! Bring your hearts and your energy and volunteer for this worthwhile event. Rebuilding Together brings communities and volunteers together to rehabilitate the homes of low income homeowners, particularly the elderly and disabled, so that they may live in warmth, safety, and independence. Past projects have not only brought joy and happiness to the homeowner but have also left our volunteers with a sense of accomplishment and feelings of gratification knowing that they have helped someone who is truly in need. Go to Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley to register by April 11th.
