Bio


I live in NH but and a junior at a boarding school in CT. I have been helping the homeless for well over ten years now and am currently applying for a Youth Venture to fund an organization I have. My organization is called Spread the Dough. I started this three years ago back in NH. The foundation is pretty basic. What we do is pick up the day-old bread from a small bakery and deliver to local homeless shelters and soup kitchens. Currently we are located in two states and going to a third state this summer. I hope to get kids from other Ventures involved!

Objetivos

  • He comenzado un emprendimiento en los últimos 12 meses y me vendría bien que me ayuden
  • Comencé un emprendimiento y quiero compartir mis experiencias
  • Quiero comunicarme con ex-miembros de YV
  • We have a few goals here. First of all, in 5 years we hope to have one chapter of Spread the Dough opened in every state. Secondly we would like to save 300,000 baked goods in 5 years. Ultimately we hope to have the homeless pick up and deliver the bread themselves in addition to the volunteers.
