Be A Part Of A Brighter Path
A direct response to the opportunity gap
In the United States, more than one in five children are living in poverty. The effects of poverty on children can cause a wide range of challenges for both children and their families, including negative outcomes related to educational attainment and income earned.
The Cow Bakery Foundation confronts these inequalities through a bakery-backed nonprofit model. Revenue from baked goods, donations, and sponsorships helps provide access to essential resources, training, and employment pathways.
The Cow Student Support Program includes life-skills workshops, one-on-one coaching, and career exploration opportunities in culinary arts, digital and print media, and first responder fields.
