Value of one loaf of bread in the
  Hurricane Sandy relief effort
Problem: How can local citizens who want to help, offer
assistance to those in need in NYC after the damage caused by
                        Hurricane Sandy?
Reframing the problem

Issues to consider:
  Working the 8 hour shifts at food shelters not possible
  Needs to be a “kid-friendly” solution
Initial Solution: Bake at home and
 deliver to those in need of food!!
                                VALUE

                          • Providing those
                            in need with not
                            only
                            nourishment, but
                            also a sense of
                            hope

                          • Connection to a
                            greater cause

                          • Teaching the
                            value of helping
                            others to children
Using social media to find out what is
            really needed


 #sandy says that our local f0od drop off center needs
 more protein

 In fact, they are overloaded with carbs
Adding something essential to the
           solution


 While the bread is rising and baking, cook up some
 high octane (but not too spicy, given the water
 shortage) protein full chili

 Baking bread and finding out where it was needed led
 to making something else that was even more
 essential in the moment
Ongoing Value

After our experience of baking and delivering bread to those in need, our group
                   wanted to inspire others to do the same!

    BakingandbreakingBread.org is a blog we created for others to share their
experiences baking (and chili making) for others in their time of need. Our hope
 is that this blog will inspire others to find simple ways to help others just as we
                                           did.
