Sweet Relief for the Philippines
A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out this past Saturday, patiently waited in line and purchased up a storm. We raised a total of $5,500, all of which will go toward typhoon relief! Your generosity is commendable.
Saturday. Coohaus Pasadena. Be There.
Where to Park at this Saturday’s Eat My Blog
The Eat My Blog charity bake sale benefiting the Philippine Red Cross is just around the corner! In order to help YOU get to US quickly and effortlessly, here is some parking information for your reference as you plot your way towards us in Pasadena.
Coolhaus is located at 59 E. Colorado Blvd., Pasadena, CA 91105 (click on link for Google map)
There are three “Park and Walk” garages in the vicinity which is the best option for you to save your money on the parking and spend it all on the Eat My Blog baked goods instead 😉 The first 90 minutes are free; $2 thereafter, and $6 daily max.

Los Angeles Regional Food Bank tour for EMBers
Early in January, the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank invited Eat My Blog bakers for a mini tour of their offices and warehouse. Marie Carpenter, the Community Relations Manager, was fantastically informative and hospitable to us as we toured their facilities and learned about the L.A. Regional Food Bank’s role in fighting hunger in L.A. You can also learn about this charitable organization by clicking here.

We toured a very large, refrigerated warehouse which housed all donated food that were yet to be sorted and distributed. It was amazing to learn that all this food was still not enough to service all the needy and hungry in Los Angeles County because “demand for food assistance outstrips supply” so the food bank can always use our help!

We also saw a lot of volunteers, young and old, sorting, repackaging, and inspecting donated food items at the warehouse. It was a heartwarming sight to see so many volunteers ready to help on a Saturday. If you want more information about volunteer opportunities, click here.

Thank you Marie for your hospitality! And thank you Eat My Blog bakers for joining us on our tour of the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank facilities.
Eat My Blog bakers!
Please stay tune for volunteer opportunities organized by the Eat My Blog Committee. And once again, THANK YOU for all your support!
