A Celebration of Breads and Breadwinners
Throughout the month of June, Immigrant Heritage Month, our bakery partners across NYC are bringing back beloved Hot Bread Kitchen breads—for a limited time only! Plus, a portion of item sales at each bakery will support Hot Bread Kitchen’s mission.
Immigrant Heritage is our heritage.
June is Immigrant Heritage Month in the United States, a time to reflect on our country’s diverse cultural heritage and to celebrate the legacy of immigrants who have shaped our history.

When Hot Bread Kitchen started, we aimed to do a version of this every day—with bread. When we first began as a social enterprise bakery, women from around the world came to us to learn how to bake and start a career. They joined our organization for the same reasons immigrant women continue to come to Hot Bread Kitchen today: to develop the skills and connections that foster economic opportunity, beginning with a basic thing we all have in common. Bread.
Celebrate across New York City!
