In 2024, one of our neighbors introduced us to Ronald McDonald House and the wonderful support they provide for families with children staying at Orange County Children’s Hospital. They have a well-established volunteer program, and it was the perfect match for Sweetz Bakery—baking for a cause.
Since then, we’ve made it a priority to visit as often as we can (weekend volunteering slots fill up quickly 😅), never holding back on the time, care, and detail we put into every dessert we create as 'McBakers', despite the larger quantity required. Our hope is that these little treats bring a moment of joy and sweetness to the guests of Ronald McDonald House.
