our story spreading kindness through every bite

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 every bread purchased, another is donated to someone in need. Additionally, 20% of our profits go towards supporting the poor and needy in Afghanistan, helping widows and orphans through charitable programs.

But our commitment goes beyond charity—we bring people together through food, culture, and tradition. Every bite you take supports a greater cause, making a tangible difference in someone’s life. Thank you for being part of our story. Together, we can create change, 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.
