Tis the Season!
Each year, L&B chooses a charity to support, in the hopes of helping those in need of some holiday cheer. This year, like last year, we’re supporting Mandy’s Place, an AMAZING facility offering short-term housing for children 0-18 who have been removed from their homes by the court due to neglect, abuse, or status offenses.
​
The children at Mandy’s Place are in need of essentials like hats and gloves, pajamas, shoes, sweatshirts, and toiletries.
We invite you to help us spread the love by choosing an ornament off of our tree, and giving a gift to children in need.
Below you’ll find a list of items that we know Mandy’s Place children would appreciate.
Anything and everything helps! Please bring your gift (unwrapped) back to L&B by December 19th
to receive a discount on your next special order or dessert counter treats!
We also have a giving tree with ornaments set up at the bakery!
IN ADDITION, L&B is pledging 10% of our December profits to Mandy’s Place,
in order to provide some extra support and care for some amazing children!
Because of YOU, we are able to help so many deserving people this holiday season,
and really focus on the true meaning of the season.
