with all of the challenges going on around us right now
it’s nice to have the opportunity
to work with these grassroots organizations (below)
(both started by one person in their kitchen, spreading across the nation)
to bring a warm home cooked meal or first ever birthday cake
to people who suffer from food insecurity for a variety of reasons and circumstance
making their day a little easier, letting them know that someone cares, and bringing a bit of unexpected joy.

*Susan B. Anthony was a prominent leader of the women’s suffrage movement and social reformer. Her work helped pave the way for the 1920 Nineteenth Amendment, which granted women the right to vote. Inspired by their belief that everyone was equal under God, she became an abolitionist and agent for the American Anti-Slavery Society. She was known for her passionate anti-slavery speeches, a rare activity for women at the time.

  12. This is great, Beth. This is how humanity needs to always be – people helping people no matter who they are or where they come from. I’m glad that you and many others are here to help families that are new to this country.

  29. Weirdly enough, even though I almost never think of cupcakes, I looked up a favorite bakery in Rapid City to see if they were still around. They had the best cupcakes ever!

    (Good news: they are. Fat lot of good that does me though…)
