Baked to feed our mission.
Selling specialty breads inspired by the cultural diversity of the women we serve is one way Hot Bread Kitchen funds our workforce and incubator programs. But with bread production paused due to COVID-19, we decided to bring the bread to you virtually, through cooking classes! 100% of proceeds from our donation-based classes help to prepare women for their next jobs and open doors for more businesses owned by women and people of color. Donation-based classes for groups are taught via Zoom and can include culture-building prompts and time for team discussion. There is a class for all levels of culinary ability!
