Dessert Drive for Bread of Life

  • Do you love baking? Want to make a difference with something sweet? Well, this is the perfect opportunity for you!
  • Hi everyone, my name is Ben, and I’m a junior at Melrose High School. This February, I’ll be collecting homemade desserts to donate to Bread of Life’s meal service. Bread of Life, a food security organization based in Malden, does incredible work. Their evening meal service provides hot meals four nights a week to our neighbors in need. To support their mission, we’re aiming to donate around 200 desserts each week, providing a dessert for everyone through the month of February.
  • If you’d like to be part of this effort and spread some kindness through baking, please fill out this form. Every treat helps make someone’s day a little brighter. Thank you!
