Come in and treat yourself to a cookie and part of the proceeds go to support Our Voice. The 4th Annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes Benefit is this Saturday April 27.http://walkamileasheville.org/
Last year, over 300 such walks were held across the country and tens of thousands of men (women and children too!) put on high heeled shoes as a symbolic gesture to walk in solidarity with women. This visually riveting community event is a great opportunity for your business to show support for the men who are taking a stand against violence. It is also a great way to let the community know you care about women’s issues and are willing to take a stand against sexual violence.
Join hundreds of other outstanding men in our community who are not afraid to Walk the Walk!
The Bakery is supporting some really awesome local organizations all having events in the next week. OpenDoors Asheville helps more than 43 local, at-risk kids with education and enrichment programs. Our volunteers provide mentorship and also transportation to tutoring, gymnastics, soccer practice and music lessons.
