Help Feed 1 Million Kids Program
We Bake Cookies to Change Lives
Eating healthier can change lives, we see this positive change every day through our partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs! We give kids a nutritious snack chock full of whole food ingredients and they are fueled to give their best at study, work, and play.
Every purchase of my products goes towards feeding kids in need... it's that simple!
Owner & Founder
It all started when Erin reach out to the Boys & Girls Clubs in Whatcom County in 2012. She knew her oat based cookies were perfect for little hands and wanted to help make sure kids were getting the proper nutrition they needed from a snack rather than reaching for a bag of chips. Finding out kids weren't always within easy reach of something healthy, that met their fancy, she stepped in with a solution! What kid doesn't love a cookie?!
When Erin and her team dove deeper they found that across America roughly 13 million kids are nutritional starved.1 They are not receiving enough critical nutrition from the food that they are eating for them to grow, thrive, and succeed.
Getting Cookies to the Kids
We're working in alliance with The Boys & Girls Clubs to be able to reach kids in need and get food packed with nutrition right into their hands! Breakfast Cookie Minis are called a cookie for fun, but really they are a 'portable bowl of oatmeal' packed with whole grains and baked with fruit - fueling kids with whole food protein, antioxidants, fiber, and complex carbohydrates. The kids literally think they're getting away with something by getting cookies at The Clubs... and we get to know how each cookie is helping them from the inside out!
Fuel The Ride at Mt. Baker Ski Area
Erin Baker's partnership with the Mt. Baker Ski Area allows us to provide free breakfast to kids of all ages in the Mt. Baker Ski Area's Winter Ride Program. The program directors were finding that about half of the kids were hitting the slopes on empty stomachs. Now every Saturday during Winter Ride we set up a tent on the mountain to greet kids and offer them a free breakfast.
We are passionate about helping kids make the connection between fueling their bodies with healthy food and having lots of energy to perform on the slopes!
