This afternoon in Saratoga Springs was the grand opening and ribbon cutting for the second Saratoga Bread Basket Bakery. The Bread Basket Bakery 🍞🍞🥖🥖 is owned by Lisa and Ed Mitzen. All profits from the bakery go to Capital Region charities fighting food insecurity.
“Business for Good” is the Mitzen’s non-profit foundation, which is venture philanthropy, This afternoon’s ribbon cutting featured a check presentation of $25,000 (that’s a lot of dough! 🤦‍♀️) to the South End Children’s Cafe on behalf of Business for Good, based on proceeds from the bakery.
During today’s grand opening, I spoke about their philanthropy and what a wonderful model the Mitzen’s have created through private investment, providing people the tools they need for success to elevate themselves for life, rather than relying on just sustenance to help them maintain.
Congratulations to Lisa and Ed Mitzen on today’s grand opening! More important, THANK YOU for doing good, making a difference, and helping others. Good things are RISING at Bread Basket Bakery!
