🥖 THE GIVING LOAF — YEAR THREE 🥖
November holds a special place in our hearts here at Melina's Artisan Loaf. This month marks THREE years of baking bread for our wonderful community!
Three years of early mornings, countless loaves of sourdough, and the blessing of getting to know so many of you along the way.
As we celebrate our third anniversary, we are bringing back a tradition that is especially dear to our family — The Giving Loaf.🍂
Throughout November, we will be setting aside TWO freshly baked Classic Sourdough Loaves each bake day, completely FREE, for members of our community to gift to someone else.
Maybe it's a neighbor walking through a difficult season, a friend who needs encouragement, a family experiencing hardship, your child's teacher, a co-worker, or simply someone who could use a reminder that they are loved. Let's work together and spread a little cheer!
🌾 HOW THE GIVING LOAF WORKS:
Each Tuesday at 6 PM for the month of November, we will announce that our two Giving Loaves are available to claim.
The first TWO people to send us a private message saying "Giving Loaf" will each receive one FREE Classic Sourdough Loaf to gift to someone outside their household.
Loaves will be available during our regular Wednesday pickup hours, 1–3 PM.
To allow more families to participate, we kindly ask that each household claim only one Giving Loaf during November.
There is no purchase necessary, and we ask for nothing in return except that you share the loaf with someone else.
Why do we do this?
Because for three years, this community has supported our family and our little bakery in more ways than we could have imagined. The Giving Loaf is one small way we can give back and encourage others to do the same.
Our prayer is that these loaves will find their way into the hands and homes of families and that it will brighten their day.
"A loaf from our hands, a blessing from yours."
Thank you for three wonderful years of allowing our family to bake for yours.
With Love,
Melina & Family 🤍
