Bloom Bake Shop supports Rubin for Kids in March and April!

Bloom Bake Shop announces their new community support campaign benefiting Rubin for Kids for the rest of March and April (full newsletter included below).

“Craving one right now? Same. Luckily, we have something coming this Tuesday just in time for St. Patrick’s Day: Pastrami & Swiss on rye. Mark and his team crafted a special rye for this one, and it’s a beauty. We’ll be offering this sandwich all month long. Even better, it’s kicking off something new we’re very excited about: our Donation Creation.

Each month, Scottie and the team will dream up a special sandwich. A Bloom team member will choose a nonprofit close to their heart, and the profits from that sandwich will go directly to that organization. It was Scottie’s brilliant idea, and we all naturally embraced it. As you know, all of us at Bloom are serious about baking, but we’re equally serious about community too.

Selected by Scottie, our nonprofit partner for the rest of March and all of April is Rubin for Kids, a Madison organization that celebrates and supports the achievements of local youth. Founded in honor of community advocate Peter Rubin, the program recognizes young people in Dane County who are working hard toward personal goals, whether at school, at home, or in their communities, and provides scholarships and awards to help them keep going. Their work centers on a simple but powerful idea: that consistent support from caring adults can make a life-changing difference for a child. Scottie and his wife Kathy are personally involved in this nonprofit, and we’re honored to support their mission as well. Our hope is that by sharing and supporting local nonprofits in this way, it inspires all of us to get more involved in our community, even if that simply starts by enjoying one of our Donation Creations.”
