Carina Creates Baking Opportunities for Individuals with Abilities

Carina’s Bakery is a vegan Scandinavian bakery owned and run predominately by individuals with physical or mental challenges. Carina started her bakery, being partially blind, knowing that someone with vision loss and health issues can create and thrive in a physical job.

Carina has created a community for her bakers to apply their unique and creative ABILITYs to their work.

Located in Beaverton, Oregon, Carina’s Bakery is a certified Oregon Benefit Company.

Carina’s five year plan is to expand to encompass a non-profit aiding in entrepreneurship and career placement, training more individuals with disABILITIES.

The Pastry Project-Creating Opportunity in the Baking Industry

The Pastry Project provides free baking and pastry training, as well as job placement assistance to individuals in our community that face barriers to education and employment. 

Founders Emily and Heather saw inequities in the pastry profession pipeline and wanted to create a program to give opportunity to those that might not otherwise have it. 

We were proud to partner with this amazing organization in early 2020 when they were launching their pilot program.

Hook & Press Doughnates

We love seeing our sprinkles atop of Hook & Press donuts! Located in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara (where ColorKitchen founder Ashley Phelps grew up) Hook & Press quickly established itself with innovative donut flavors and has been named in both USA Today and Food Network’s lists of Best Restaurants in Santa Barbara.

Hook & Press partners with local charities (as they say, Hook & Press Doughnates), giving a portion of sales directly to programs like the Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation @teddybearcancerfoundation and the Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network  @sbwildlifecarenetwork, with flavor creations like the Animal Cracker donut.

Cones for a Cause-They Give a Lick

After meeting in New York, Anthony and Chad moved to Austin and opened Lick Honest Ice Creams in the fall of 2011 because they wanted to offer “honest ice creams” to savvy palates.

To Lick, "honest" simply means using the purest ingredients for their artisanal ice creams and that ice cream shouldn’t just taste good — it should also be good.

They Give a Lick

With their Cones for a Cause Campaign, Lick gives back to the communities that support them by regularly fundraising for, volunteering at, and donating to non-profit organizations, making Austin happier one honest scoop at a time!
