Earth Day Profile: Hot Bread Kitchen Is More Than A Bakery

Hot Bread Kitchen's mission is to "br-educate" New Yorkers about the tasty and important contributions of immigrant communities. It is a non-profit social enterprise that creates better lives for low-income women and their families through their business incubation program, HBK Incubates. 

"The business model of HBK is based on sustainability. In order to reach this goal, we sell a line of breads inspired by the countries of origins of our bakers. Women working with us bring recipes for bread which we then produce and sell in over 40 retailers. The money from the sale of breads goes to fund our training programs, allowing women to, in effect fund their own training. By allowing women to shape our product line and contribute to their own professional development we empower our bakers and educate consumers about immigrant communities." ~Jessamyn Rodriguez, CEO
