Bake Back America to Partner with DeCicco Family Market

Bake Back AmericaBake Back America and DeCicco Family Markets in the Village are partnering in an exciting initiative to allow shoppers to support local businesses and families in need simultaneously, beginning this weekend.

The program will allow shoppers to add items to their cart or make a donation that will go directly to local food pantries. There will be a small refrigerator in the store that participants can help fill!

Bake Back America is a Scarsdale-based charity dedicated to spreading kindness and building bridges between communities. The organization has previously demonstrated the success of partnerships between local businesses and local non-profits. Earlier initiatives included Standing Room Only's preparation of 100 box lunches for the Mother's Day Celebration at Hope Family Services in New Rochelle.

The new partnership with Deciccos will serve as a model to other grocery store partnerships with food pantries, such as one in Los Angeles.

The kickoff event for the program is this weekend, and will include a bakesale in the DeCicco's parking lot. Any volunteers wishing to get involved in this or other Bake Back America efforts should email here.
