Little Bits of Good

July 27, 2023 Trisha Bower

“Do your little bit of good where you are; it’s those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.”
—Desmond Tutu

In a world where each day brings negativity and uncertainty, it helps to try and gain some peace by doing some good in the chaos. After what seemed like weeks of inconveniences, pain, and frustration, Eat My Shortbread has weathered this summer storm and we are feeling like we are back on top.

FULLY REOPENED

FLOOD & WATER DAMAGE

The damage from a flood in our unit from an above tenant is still not quite repaired but it is getting there and should be finished by the end of this month. We lost a couple of pieces of equipment and had to close for a few days but we are fully reopened and ready for you in the newer space that is more like a little market with local gourmet foods and of course our delicious baked goods.

RECOVERING WELL

QUEEN BAKER SURGERY

Trisha had double jaw surgery on July 7 and after 2 infections and a LOT of pain, she is finally feeling better and more like herself. Full recovery takes about a year but she is quite happy with the new ability to breathe and sleep easier!

RETIRED BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

CHEESECAKE BROWNIE

We have retired our Cheesecake Brownies but look for a new cookie flavour coming soon as well as some seasonal scone and tart flavours... any suggestions? Send them along!

LITTLE BITS OF GOODNESS

The bits of good that we continue to do will remain with our partnerships with the following:

BCG DURHAM

BGC Durham where we raised $150 for their youth programming selling our Bright Bites. https://www.bgcdurham.com

UNBALANCED PADDLER

We proudly sponsored The Unbalanced Paddler, Mike Shoreman as he was the first person with a physical disability to cross international waters to raise $50k for Jack.org and the work they do with youth mental health. www.jack.org/thecrossing https://jack.akaraisin.com/ui/9EFBB15F67FC43DE9D824278DEBD7F62 it is not too late to donate and support this incredible initiative.

LOCAL SHELTERS

Linked with our local shelters, our imperfect baking makes a new home in the hands and the mouths of those that are in shelters, underemployed or underhoused

BUY ONE GIVE ONE

Look for our new plan to BUY one, GIVE one in early 2022 as we give back to those who need it most.

Lots of stuff to share and we really appreciate your continued loyalty, support, shares, follows and comments as we continue to grow and share our passion for incredible baked goods with the world
