Sofia's Sourdough Bread Baking
Fundraising for Sadaka
Story
🥖 Baking Back Better 🥖
“Man can’t live by bread alone. He needs peanut butter.” James A Garfield US President.
Baking life a better place.
Like many of us during lockdown I started baking, and thought I’d try sourdough bread. After several attempts, including ‘starters’ dying, YouTube videos and an online course, I’ve just about mastered a basic sourdough loaf.
So I thought I’d put my lockdown hobby to some use before the restrictions lift and we all go back to normal. 🤞🏽
I’ve been involved with the local charity - SadakaGives since Jan 2019. We provide hot meals and a few essentials for the homeless & vulnerable every Saturday. We are currently looking to raise funds for coffee, tea, sugar & washing powder and a few other essential toiletries - items the service users have requested. ALL money goes direct to Sadaka. For more information or others ways to help go to https://www.sadakagives.org.uk more details and updates.

It is Sadaka's mission to prevent and relieve poverty and financial hardship in Reading by providing food, clothing and basic household items to individuals in need, and by supporting other organisations which work to prevent or relieve poverty in Reading. We are in our third year as a charity and have already seen some individuals get into accommodation and work. Supporting people with complex issues is not easy, but we have wonderful volunteers who come from all walks of life who make our work possible.
