Spreading Kindness: The Jummah Bakery Mission

At Jummah Bakery, we're more than just a bakery – we're a community with a mission. Founded by individuals from Hamrah Institute, our journey began with a shared determination to support those in need in Afghanistan. Driven by this philanthropic vision, we've structured our business to be a source for charity. Through our "buy a bread, give a bread" initiative, we ensure that for each bread purchased, another is donated to impoverished individuals in Afghanistan. But our commitment to spreading kindness goes beyond bread. A portion of the proceeds from all our other goods goes towards charitable causes, especially to help widows and orphans, ensuring that your support reaches even further. Join us in our mission to spread kindness and make an impact in the lives of those less fortunate. With every bite, you can make a difference. Thank you for being a part of our story and mission. Together, let's make a meaningful difference, one meal at a time.

The Needs of New Afghan Arrivals and Jummah Bakery's Role in Serving the Community

The recent influx of Afghan arrivals to the U.S. has brought unique challenges as they adapt to a new environment. At Jummah Bakery, we recognize the importance of preserving cultural identity and are committed to supporting both Afghan newcomers and the broader community.

Comfort Food and Familiarity: Food provides a powerful connection to one's roots, offering comfort during times of change. Jummah Bakery delivers a taste of home with authentic Afghan breads and pastries, helping new arrivals feel a sense of belonging.

Nutritional Support: Adjusting to new dietary norms can be difficult, especially with unhealthy options. Jummah Bakery promotes a healthy lifestyle by offering freshly baked, preservative-free products, ensuring the Afghan community can maintain traditional eating habits without compromising on health.

Employment Opportunities and Skills Training: Offering job opportunities and training in baking and customer service can help new arrivals gain valuable skills, become financially independent, and integrate more easily into their new environment.

Perfect balance of taste and texture.
