Testimonials

“Laughing Bear Bakery has provided me a safe and fun working environment. It builds my self esteem and teaches me valuable skills… It also allows me to acquire valuable work history.” - Larry, Employee


To me, Laughing Bear Bakery is a wonderful combination of caring, hard work, and hope. The opportunities it affords returning citizens is invaluable to their successful reentry into the community. I have witnessed the transformation from fear and trepidation to confidence and a sense of belonging. Add all the more esoteric benefits from being part of the LBB team with delicious baked goods, and what’s not to love?!” - Dee, Board Member
