Sweet Miss Giving’s—the bakery/jobs program affiliated with HIV/AIDS agency Chicago House—is going national.
According to an open letter from Chicago House CEO the Rev. Stan Sloan, “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.”
However, this development means that local operations will cease. On April 1, the retail location at the Loop’s French Market will close, and the wholesale and catering businesses will end.
