April is Second Chance Month

A Message from Executive Director Tricia Allen

At Together We Bake, we believe in the power of second chances. April is Second Chance Month, a time to recognize the millions of people—especially women—who deserve the opportunity to rebuild their lives after incarceration, addiction recovery, or other challenges.

For many women, a past mistake becomes a lifelong barrier to employment and stability. The stigma of a record often means doors remain closed, even after they've done the work to move forward. That’s why our mission is clear: we provide women with the job skills, confidence, and community they need to reclaim their futures.

How We’re Giving Second Chances

• Workforce Training – Hands-on experience in baking, business operations, and teamwork.
• Personal Growth & Confidence Building – A supportive environment to develop self-worth.
• Pathways to Employment – Connections to fair-wage jobs that break cycles of poverty.

A second chance isn’t just about a fresh start—it’s about justice, dignity, and opportunity. This month, we celebrate every woman who refuses to be defined by her past and is working toward a brighter future.

Join us in creating second chances! Support our mission by purchasing our baked goods, making a donation, or sharing the word about our impactful employment social enterprise!
