BAKING THAT MATTERS
Sharing a Piece of the Pie.
The Two Fat Cats Bakery community giving program, Baking That Matters, is funded by sales of our year-round favorite, the Triple Berry Pie, available through local online ordering, in-store purchase, or nationwide shipping.
$2 of every Triple Berry Pie sale is dedicated to a fund that is distributed to specially selected beneficiaries on a quarterly basis.
Started by Stacy Begin in 2020, during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, Baking That Matters was developed to provide additional financial support to local, non-profit organizations dedicated to uplifting and celebrating underrepresented voices in our community.
Check out our beneficiaries below and learn more about the great work they are doing on a local level.
