NEW ORLEANS (press release) – In the wake of the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, New Orleans bakers Beth Biundo, Megan Forman and Maggie Scales are rallying in solidarity to support relief efforts for fellow business owners. Several local bakeries and restaurants will join in the fundraising event, of which 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Regarding Her, an organization committed to accelerating the growth of women-owned businesses, and Direct Relief, a humanitarian aid organization committed to helping all people affected by poverty or emergencies.
“We know firsthand the devastation a natural disaster delivers,” said Beth Biundo in a statement about the event. “While there is nothing we can do to assist on-site, we will do what we do best, and that’s to bake or cook. We hope that our efforts will provide resources that could be the difference between survival and closure.”
