At Flour Girls and Dough Boys, we have ambitions and goals that we feel are important and unique. We work together to meet the needs of our customers and employees, while also doing all we can to serve our community and our environment.
We have amazing employees with compassionate and generous hearts. We came across a wonderful concept when I discovered that our teenage employees were working with a variety of charities in efforts to help those in need. Our employees take turns raising money for their projects with what in many restaurants would be considered a ‘tip’ jar. Rather than raising money for themselves they have raised funds for Children’s Hospital, Operation Smile, and Invisible Children, among others.
The Thanksgiving Dinner we put on for those in need started a collection which has been going on since. When we asked for our customers help in providing food for people without a place to go for Thanksgiving Dinner, your response was even more wonderful and giving than we had anticipated. When we had money left after the dinner was provided, we decided the Utah Food Bank would be the best place to give the money which had been so generously donated for those without enough food to eat.
Katie, whom you all know as one of the smiling faces up front at the bakery, decided a fun run would be a great way to raise additional funds for the food bank. She worked to create an exciting event that would provide much needed funds for the organization, whose donations have been down with the economic decline.
Since the beginning of the year, our customer’s have donated over $1000 to the Utah Food Bank.
All of us at Flour Girls & Dough Boys want to say Thank You! We appreciate you as customers, and we appreciate you as concerned neighbors and friends. Thank you for helping us contribute to those in need through your generosity.
