Most of the time, when you purchase sweets, you aren’t necessarily doing anything good for your health or for others. At Connie’s Bakery and General Store, however, you are actually assisting adults with their literacy when you buy baked goods and other items. That’s because at Connie’s Bakery, founded by Connie Milstein, 100% of the after tax profits go to six non-profit organizations each year. Distributed through Foundation Sweet Success, these funds help non-profit organizations with their many needs.
One of the six non-profits picked this year from Connie’s Bakery is the Literacy Volunteers of Westchester County, Inc. This non-profit organization is dedicated to providing student-centered English literacy services to adults. They focus on the needs of those in Westchester County, while also acting as a community resource for the improvement of literacy aims throughout the country.
