Marci’s Bakery was birthed in love...love for people.  Her desire to serve is not only the reason Marci’s Bakery exists but it is what drives her daily.  Read on...

 

Baby SafeThe Baby Safe is a South African based organization dedicated to preventing “baby dumping,”, rescuing abandoned babies, and empowering parents in need. This volunteer-based organization has saved the lives of countless infants and provides the structure and services women and men in desperate situations need to feel empowered. 

In 2007, a man named Floyd McClung came to surprise the Pastor at Marci's church (Bob Leach). Pastor Floyd ran a Christian home for wayward youth in Kabul Afghanistan in the 70’s. This Pastor happened to be one of those youth and he gave his heart to Jesus, back in the 70’s, due to Pastor Floyd’s influence. The Pastor’s daughter, Marisa, searched for Pastor Floyd and in 2007 she arranged for him to come and surprise the Pastor. When P. Floyd spoke at the church that year, among other topics, he shared about a volunteer organization called The Baby Safe in South Africa (www.thebabysafe.org). Their mission is to prevent baby dumping, to intervene with abandoned babies, to support women in crisis and empower parents in need. "My heart leapt while watching a video about The Baby Safe that he shared with us that day. Seeing people searching through huge garbage dumps was barely bearable! I had to do something about this! I decided that day, in 2007, that I was going to restart my former bakery business so I would have the means to contribute to this organization. I wanted to make a difference. I wanted to save babies. In 2009 I flew to S. Africa to see where this was all birthed and to meet the woman in charge of "The Baby Safe". Over the next 5 years, I took on part time jobs and planned the opening of a "new and improved" health dedicated bakery. Covered in prayer and with a new focus, in January 2012, I started a new bakery business in Hamilton: Marci’s Bakery. This God-given dream business has 2 focuses:

1. To employ and train local employees to scratch-bake and wholesale delicious, healthy, allergen free baking.

2. To support The Baby Safe and help rescue and heal abandoned and dumped babies.

Since then, we continue to support this very worthwhile organization. We believe that saving abandoned babies and supporting parents is great motivation to keep our sweet little enterprise going!"

Connections Cafe

Marci also volunteers at Connections Café. You will often find her there, serving guests and cleaning tables. Connections Café is a not-for-profit café that operates in a nondenominational church called Living Hope. The café serves delicious food and beverages, but most importantly, offers a safe, non-judgemental space to connect people looking for conversation, friendship and a welcoming environment. Marci’s Bakery also supplies Connections Café with baked goods at a deeply discounted rate.

Along with the café, Marci and Paul support the Living Hope Church as volunteers and members. Living Hope strives to create an environment for others to rethink church. With a diverse congregation of people of varying backgrounds, nations, races and ages, all are welcome regardless of whether they are exploring faith for the first time or already miles into the journey. This fantastic, life-changing place challenges present mindsets about church and encourages transformation.
