About Haley House:

Haley House’s Bakery Training Program began in 1996 at our Soup Kitchen, when formerly homeless men conspired to generate an income. They learned to bake bread and pies and then taught their new skills to college students volunteering in the soup kitchen. This process developed the men’s skills, built pride, and became a mentoring model.

Today the training program has evolved into our Transitional Employment Program (TEP), designed to assist those recently released from incarceration. This work experience allows for real-life employment opportunities in an atmosphere designed to ensure safety and stability. The production range of this program consists of the wholesale cookies, pizza dough, pies, and tea loaves. In addition to employment, participants are required to pursue additional education, and the program offers tutoring and transitional support, provided by Haley House Community Live-In members with the cooperation of Haley House volunteers. The Transitional Employment Program upholds to Haley House’s long tradition of creating opportunities for folks who are turning their lives around.

In addition to baking your pies, the participants in TEP are baking chocolate chip cookies at night for Boston College Dining Services and Northeastern University’s On the Go Shop in the Curry Student Center. We are presently seeking new outlets for the cookies in order to increase the number of participants in this program. If you have any institutional outlets that may be interested in carrying our cookies, please let us know.

Thank you for all of your ongoing support.

Sincerely,

Your Friends at the Haley House Bakery Cafe
