Jane Green loves to bake, and her friends and family love when she bakes, too.
When her church is raising funds for mission trips, people line up at the silent auction table just to get a bid in on Jane’s homemade pies. When she was first married, her aunt gave Jane a pastry cloth and a sock for her rolling pin, and that started her off. With a recipe for pastry handed down decades ago, Jane never worries if her pies will turn out well, and she has practiced and persevered through the years, making goodies that light up people’s eyes.
Her passion to support children and women, combined with her personal experiences in Ethiopia after three trips there with her daughter, Shelley, motivates Jane to use her home kitchen for a bake-to-order fundraiser. She has already raised $110 doing so. After all, there are people in Ethiopia who have held Jane’s hand, who have looked into her eyes. This is personal. Jane knows that there are no social safety nets in Ethiopia like we have in Canada to keep people safe during a world pandemic. Food, shelter, medical care, all are in urgent need for people Jane knows and cares for.
It was hard to narrow down the selection of baked goods for friends and family who want to support her efforts, but Jane decided on these homemade offerings:
Dinner Rolls (made with butter and milk), 6 for $6
Gluten-free Relish (using a recipe handed down by her mother-in-law), 2 x 6 ounce jars for $10
Pumpkin Pies (with her renowned pastry recipe), an 8-inch round pie for $15
So, now the word is out. Friends and family of Jane Green have been challenged! Help this loving lady on her quest to raise some funds for Ethiopia. Give her a call, send her an email, or just give her a shout if you see her! Her kitchen is ready to fill your belly with yummy goodness! And, for the right price, she just might veer off the above list for special orders if you have one. If the price is right!!
Way to go, Jane Green.
