Flour Power is a way members of the community can provide home baked loaves of bread to local food pantries. The idea is to bake four loaves of bread. Keep one for yourself, the other three are donated to the food insecure. The goal is to nourish and bring joy to people through a personal touch.
How Does It Work?
Anyone can register to bake. Simply sign up and we will send the recipe and ingredients list to you. The recipes will make 4 loaves and the plan is for each baker to keep one loaf and donate the remaining 3. There are designated drop off points on the North and South Forks and when you register you will receive dates and locations for drop offs. Loaves will be picked up, packaged and dropped off to participating pantries. Register for this great program here.
I‘d Like to Help But I’m Not a Baker
David Chaffin, board member, is an experienced baker most recently from Amy’s Bread, a renowned bakery. He has worked hard to develop a simple, healthy recipe that everyone can bake, regardless of experience. And it’s fun!!
How Can I Learn More?
A short video has been created with David demonstrating how to bake the bread. He demonstrates each phase of the bread baking process. This is a perfect preparation for your own baking and it can be rewatched at any time. Watch Demo
A Final Thought
This program can only continue with the helping hands of our community. Won’t you please give it a try? Also, if you have friends or contacts that might be interested please forward this information to them. Imagine a network of people showing care and connection through food? That is truly Slow Food!!
Many thanks for your continued support.
