Dear Friend,
The Bread Project is expanding into a new bakery training facility
in Emeryville, and we are holding a
grand-opening event on February 24, 2010. Please join us to
celebrate this new chapter in The
Bread Project's evolution. Together, we can provide clear and
sustainable positive benefits for economically disadvantaged populations
and build thriving communities in the Bay Area. RSVP online or call 510-594-1702. (Please feel free to share
this newsletter with others.)

About Our Expansion
With
the support of
community organizations, local businesses, foundations, and individuals
in the Bay Area, The Bread Project has become a successful workforce
development organization that promotes self-sufficiency among
economically marginalized Bay Area residents.
From our humble
beginnings ten years ago, our program has graduated more than 700
trainees and helped over 500 graduates find jobs.
However, the
demand
for job training and supports is increasing, especially in the current
economic climate. To enhance our impact on the individuals and
communities in need, we are expanding our bakery and culinary job
training program.
Our expansion
is thanks in large part to the generous contributions of Chevron
Corporation and Semifreddi's Bakery. Chevron, as part of their
California Partnership, has been one of The Bread Project's strongest
supporters. Their multi-year funding investment along with Semifreddi's
underwriting of the facility lease has made this much needed expansion
possible.
Over the next two years, we expect to double our
training capacity and scale up our bakery social enterprise. This
strengthens our double bottom line by improving employment outcomes for
graduates and creating a more sustainable revenue model for the
organization.
