House of Bread Bake-Off
Roanoke, Virginia · 1st Annual
A joyful evening of community bakers, friendly competition, and delicious baked goods—all in support of fresh starts for women in our community.
Baked with purpose
What is House of Bread?
House of Bread is a unique program helping under-resourced women make a fresh start.
In an atmosphere of friendship, participants and mentors build relationships while sharing tools for restoring confidence, dignity, and hope through a six-week session.
Participants learn job and personal skills through hands-on training, coupled with emotional and spiritual support, while baking and selling bread alongside volunteer mentors from the Roanoke community.
What is this Bake-Off?
The Bake-Off is our signature fundraising event: high-energy, joyful, and rooted in community.
Community bakers, civic leaders, local celebrities, and Roanoke neighbors come together for an evening of tasting delicious baked goods, friendly competition, and celebrating our community’s capacity.
All proceeds directly support our programs and demonstrate our sponsors’ commitment to supporting our most vulnerable residents.
Serve joyfully on September 19, 2026.
