Our charity this month is  "Bake Me Home"

Making the world a better place, one cookie at a time!

 

Bake Me Home was established in 2008 by then 7-year-old twin sisters, Amy and Emma Bushman, with help from their mom Alison. Bake Me Home grew from their desire to do something more for the homeless family shelter where they had volunteered together for 3 years. Their volunteer work began with collecting items for the shelter at the twins’ birthday party each year. Once the items were gathered, they delivered them to the shelter and prepared a homemade pancake breakfast for the families. While they always enjoyed working together in the kitchen, it saddened them to see the shelter children standing in the doorway watching (for safety reasons, the shelter children were never allowed to enter the kitchen). For Alison especially, this kitchen threshold heartbreakingly represented another line between the life her children were living and the lives of the kids struggling with homelessness.

 

Bake Me Home has been blessed to receive support from thousands of generous volunteers who share their passion for making the world a better place, one cookie at a time! After 9 years the organization has grown to include 3 programs that serve people from 18 agencies in Hamilton, Clermont, Butler and Warren counties, and troops serving overseas. In addition to the primary Tote Bag Program, Bake Me Home offers the Bake Me BACK Home Program, and Bake It Forward Program.  To learn more about this amazing charity, go www.bakemehome.com
