Our Philanthropic Mission Ending Family Homelessness: Created in 2001 by Dancing Deer Baking Company, The Sweet Home Project contributes to direct action programs to help homeless families establish stable lives and move into homes of their own. We work hard each year to ensure that as our business grows so does our generosity. Supporting our local community: We are a company of people who are passionate about food, nature, aesthetics, and community. Based in Boston’s inner city and with a wide range of personal interests and hopes for the world, Deers enjoy making cookie contributions to a variety of charitable organizations and good works. “My business career has always been driven by a need to do more than peddle one more case of something strictly for commercial gain. I was raised in a tradition of philanthropy and social activism and it stuck. There is so much more to do, and our efforts have yielded only very modest results. But I am proud of our good works at Dancing Deer. Whether it’s the Sweet Home Project or helping an individual walk in to Dancing Deer with no skills, and walk out the door with a career, we’re helping people who need it.” Trish Karter, co-founder/CEO |
