Bake Me Home

In case you haven’t checked your calendar Mother’s Day is less than a week away. When we think of our moms so many images come to mind, but for me one of them is baking cookies….something many of us did with our mothers.

One mom took her cooking with her children and her cookies to the next step.  In 2008, Alison Bushman and her then 7-year-old twin daughters had a conversation about children entrepreneurs. Her girls wondered can kids really make a difference?

The twins had already spent hours helping out with a local homeless shelter and wanted to do more. The solution, to give families their recipe, the dry ingredients to make cookies as they left the shelter and moved into a home.

The result is sweet, Bake Me Home‘s mission is dedicated to promoting volunteerism and providing disadvantaged moms and kids with something as simple as cookies that encourage shared family experiences.

The girl’s goal? To make the world sweeter one cookie at a time. How sweet is that? Charity Matters.
