Today is the day of the
IMMIGRANT DEFENSE
BAKE SALE, so I went to drop my 12 dozen desserts for the event.
Jess was so busy, too busy to explain what the bake sale was for this amazing couple, so she asked if I would sit down & explain it to them.
I WAS HAPPY TO ASSIST.
I saw that they were patiently waiting w/a glass of wine.
Their daughter, who is vegan encouraged them to support this bake sale since they are both vegan, & at least 3 of the bakers at this event, baked vegan goods.
Here they are listed in alphabetical order…

We got to talking. Beth shared she was a local, public teacher for over 20 years & Tim who previously worked for Homeland Security.
HE DOES NOT APPROVE OF ICE RN.
Once I explained to them that we were raising funds to donate to , a non-profit located in Southern California, that is assisting in deportation defense for those that need their services, they were totally on board! And happy to support the cause.
I LOVE this beautiful community in Ventura County, SOOO MUCH! I’m not only grateful to people like Beth & Tim, I’m so proud of how our community, but namely these small businesses got together.
We may not be part of the legislation, but we aren’t going to let that stop us fr. working to support the most vulnerable part of our community. This is the very definition of community! Getting together to help one another in times of need.
It’s almost 8 pm, so I’m expecting that in a few minutes I’m going to see a post fr either or or one of the 20+ bakers that contributed that we are sold out & broke our record for the past fundraising bake sale.
I’m so proud of our community that shared our posts, the small businesses that participated & the community that came to buy up all these yummy goodies!
Thank you to all the local influencers that came to share with their audiences what we are doing! And special thank you to. Buddy’s Wine Bar, Jess & to all the volunteers!
This wouldn’t happen without you!!!
