Dear Friends of Chicago House and Sweet Miss Giving's,

We have some exciting news to report from Sweet Miss Giving's Bakery!

Sweet Miss Giving's has attracted the attention of a national wholesale baker who will be entering a licensing agreement to take part of our product line to a larger audience. We are very excited to be working with him and for the potential that this move holds for both our Transitional Jobs/Internship Program as well as for the potential benefits to Chicago House and its mission. You will be hearing more about which products he takes on and where they can be found as the last of the details fall into place.

Unfortunately, in order to successfully make this transition we will need to consolidate our current operations. Beginning April 1st we will be closing our retail location at the French Market as well as ending our wholesale and catering businesses. We thank our customers and donors so much for the support and encouragement you have given to the bakery and our employees since we opened our doors in 2008. That support is what has allowed us to be given awards and exposure like the 2010 Chicago Tribune Good Eating Award, which ultimately allowed this next step in our growth.

Know that the many lives that have been transformed through our jobs program will remain living testimonies of the support that our friends have given to Sweet Miss Giving's over the years. 

Thanks again to all of you for the role that you have played in the life of Sweet Miss Giving's! My gratitude and best wishes to each of you.

 The Reverend Stan J Sloan

CEO
