Kitchen Pantry News - Cooks With A Cause

Cookies, breads and muffins, are just few examples of some of the delicious, and nutritious baked goods that the CWAC prepare in hopes of sweetening your day. The CWAC, Cook With A Cause, is a recently established club at the Sidwell Friends School. Sidwell is a co-education Quaker School in the D.C area. 

Kaye Mckean and Salena Hess, two young ladies with a passion for baking and motivation for change, founded CWAC. The CWAC provides baked goods for the Women’s Collective monthly support group meetings. For these two ladies any excuse to pull out flour and sugar is a good one.  The work of The Women’s Collective proved to be a perfect candidate for receiving baked goods from the CAWC. 

TWC would like to thank CWAC for their vision and support! For information on our Kitchen Pantry program and how you might help, contact Medical Case Manager, Shriyam Dhakal.
