Sweet Miss Giving’s Bakery is a not-for-profit organization that will train and employ 20 persons to prepare, sell, and deliver pastries, wholesale baked goods, and gift baskets for business meetings, catered events, and other group occasions.

The bakery offers a wide variety of decadent cookies, bars,scones, muffins, cupcakes, and breakfast items all made from scratch, with the primary focus on delivery, catering and events.

The gourmet catering bakery is a project of Chicago House, a social service agency established to provide housing for persons with HIV and AIDS. The majority of Sweet Miss Giving’s profits will go back to the non-profit organization Chicago House – led by the Rev. Stan Sloan – which has provided housing, employment, and support services for more than two decades. But the bakery also doubles as a jobs program – the majority of Sweet Miss Giving’s employees are formerly homeless paid interns, who are re-entering the job market and gaining skills as bakers, packers, and delivery assistants.

“If you want people to live with dignity, you have to treat them with dignity. Our new factory has top-of-the-line equipment; and our recipes are the best in the city,” says founder Rev. Stan Sloan. “We have tried to create an environment where our interns get the training and experience they need, and also where they can be proud to come to work everyday. Moreover, dessert lovers and meeting planners alike get do good, with the promise of getting delicious, gourmet freshly baked goods. So go ahead and indulge, and make the world a better place.”

Customers can order online with the option for delivery anywhere in the US.
