 “I have had a very fortunate life, including economically, and my feeling is that we were put on this earth to give back. Those of us who are lucky enough to have should give some of it to those who don't. I feel very strongly about that and that's where I've put my energy.” One of the more amazing of Connie’s ventures into the world of giving has been Connie’s Bakery and General Store. This enterprise is a unique experiment into what would happen if you sold delicious baked goods and beautiful gifts and gave all of the earnings from the sale of these items to charity. The experiment has been an amazing success, and in addition to the original location in Mt. Kisco New York, another branch has been opened in the main lobby of the Northern Westchester Hospital. Purchasing delicious treats at Connie’s is an amazing experience. Imagine going into a bakery to indulge your sweet tooth, and leaving with a great feeling that you helped a worthy cause by merely buying something which you were planning on buying anyway. Connie Milstein brings goodness to those benefiting from the sales, and also to those enjoying the delicious baked goods which are so professionally and deliciously prepared. |
