Baking for Change
Hi! I'm Leah. This summer I am doing two of the things I am most passionate about - baking and helping children in need. When you buy one of my (delicious) baked goods, you will be donating to Families First who has been working with Atlanta's most vulnerable populations for 130 years.
We Reached Our Goal of $2,500!
