About
The Open Door Bakery offers hope and opportunity through the communal art of baking.
Our passionate team of bakers includes past and present residents of the Open Door Women’s Center at Degage Ministries. All of the bakery profits directly support this overnight shelter for women in crisis.
The Open Door Bakery provides women with an opportunity for meaningful work, and delicious baked goods to our wider community.
