Baked Goods for Charity at Connie’s Bakery Make Good Business Sense

Connie Milstein is a Principal of Ogden CAP Properties, but she is also the force behind the successful business Connie’s Bakery and General Store. This is the award-winning shop that donates 100% of its profits to charity.

But just because the profits are “only” for charity does not mean that the business side of the enterprise is in any way neglected. Rather, only the best ingredients go into each tasty pastry, cake, pie, tart and cookie. Everything is made with the most wholesome elements by hand, just the way grandma used to.

Employees are paid a living wage, which means Connie’s is also an example and role model for other businesses to do the same, including providing medical benefits to all of Connie’s full-time employees.

Connie Milstein: Great Cookies for Good Causes

Connie Milstein had a wonderful idea. Why not sell something people love and are more than willing to buy anyway, and give the profits to charitable causes?

This idea has come to fruition in the successful shop known as Connie’s Bakery and General Store. Located in Mt. Kisco, New York, there is a second location in the lobby of Northern Westchester Hospital. Simply stated, the more that is sold in Connie’s, the more money is available to give away to charity.
