Together, we raised $500 to support the incredible work of @ocveggieproject💫 The Oak Cliff Veggie Project is working on the ground every week to cultivate a healthier, stronger and more self-reliant community through education and access to fresh produce.

Their partnership with mutual aid organizations like @feedthepeopledallas provides food and essential items to those affected by last week’s storm. Thank you for all that you do!

We are also baking up some country sour loaves for donation to @missionoakcliff. Thank you to all of those who sponsored loaves. None of this is possible without an amazing community that I’m lucky to be a part of💛

P.S. We still have a few Cape spiced sticky buns on the website!

I’m constantly blown away by the generosity of this community. Preorders opened this morning and the option to sponsor a loaf for someone in need sold out so quickly! Thanks to your giving spirit, I’ll be doing a second bake this week which will be donated to @missionoakcliff who will deliver them to families in need.

Once orders close on Monday evening, I’ll share how much we were able to raise for @ocveggieproject!

There are still plenty of items available for Thursday pickup, and I did add a few more sponsored loaves, so head to the website to place an order.

This week’s menu:
💫Jewish deli sourdough rye
💫Country sour
💫Cape spiced sticky buns
💫Cinnamon rolls w/ browned butter cream cheese frosting
💫Chutney, cheddar & mustard greens croissant (sold out)

Thank you for being such a bright light and supportive community💛

We are some of the few, from what it seems, to get

We are some of the few, from what it seems, to get through this week without losing power or water and having no damage to our home *knocks on wood*. We feel incredibly lucky and grateful, yet heartbroken for our neighbors, community, city and state.

We will be resuming our Thursday Loaf of the Week pickup this coming week. Preorders open tomorrow 10 am on our website. We continue to offer free county sours to those affected by the pandemic, and now, for those affected by the storm. Please share with anyone who is hungry or if you have a hungry friend or neighbor, feel free to order one for them.

We will also be donating all proceeds from this week’s bake to @ocveggieproject. They are doing their weekly produce distribution and are preparing/delivering hot meals to those in need.

If there’s anything that we can do to help you, please reach out.

Hang in there, y’all❤️
