Charity Begins at Home at Connie’s Bakery



Taking a great idea to the next level, Connie Milstein of Connie’s Bakery and General Store in Mt. Kisco, New York, insists that her employees are treated with dignity and respect, regardless of the fact that all profits from the business enterprise are given to charity.

Every worker is paid a “living wage” as well as given medical benefits if they are full-time employees. Not only that, but there is an effort to support small local farmers and craftsmen whenever possible when purchasing decisions are made.

Connie’s Bakery and General Store is a model business enterprise which donates all its profits to charity, which is really the icing on the cake.
