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.
