Reminder, Next week is our Flour Power gathering at CAST

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Food insecurity is a huge issue in our community and we need you!

We need more bakers! We want you to share this event info with your friends and neighbors. Come chat with us. And break bread with us (pun intended). The bread we bake is delicious and you will get to hear and sample for yourself why we created this recipe to help feed the forks.

Not ready to bake yet? You can still help by sponsoring a baker!

Flour Power has been SFEE’s community initiative of inspiring home bakers to join us as we continue our work to fight food insecurity on the East End. Since our launch during the pandemic, we have grown to providing loaves to four local pantries, including CAST in Southold.

We are excited to share several important program updates for 2024 and are ready to Re-Launch the program after a brief winter pause.

• We have upgraded our bread drop bins to be sturdier Igloo coolers that are more weatherproof and secure. We have also enhanced our drop off procedures.
• We will be distributing complimentary bread baking starter kits (4 metal loaf pans, some ingredients, recipe card, bread bags…) in a canvas tote designed to make bread carrying to the drop off locations easier.
• Who gets a kit ? Oprah said it best – you get a kit and you get a kit and yes even you get a kit. All new and existing bakers, we want to make this easy for you. If you are signed-up to be baker, whether you’ve baked before or are new to the program, you are eligible for a starter kit.
• Speaking of easy – we are also adding group dough-making workshops where we can all “prep the recipe together” to bake, so you are more confident in your technique when you take that solo plunge. Please note the “together” in quotes. In an effort to make it even easier, you wont leave YOUR kitchen while you are baking. More details at the workshop.
• Not a baker yet ? Join us at CAST and hear from the inspiration behind Flour Power – our very own Bread Ambassador, Pennie Schwartz, as she discusses the finer points of the program. You’ll have an opportunity to sign-up at the event, take home your starter kit and join in the baking fun! From there, you’ll choose one of 4 food pantries to donate to based on your preference or ease of drop-off. We simply want you to bake — you choose which pantry to bake for and which baking session works for you.

Come prepared to learn, to laugh, and to connect with fellow like-minded community members.
