Treat Cupcake Bar & Lovin' Spoonfuls Team Up to Combat Local Hunger

For the month of March Treat Cupcake Bar’s Chestnut Hill location is supporting a special organization with their Treat Other’s Well program: Lovin’ Spoonfuls. They are a group that facilitates the recovery and distribution of healthy, perishable food that would otherwise be discarded. Lovin’ Spoonfuls works efficiently to deliver this food directly to the community organizations and resources where it can have the greatest impact. Lovin’ Spoonfuls is committed to addressing the health, environmental and economic impact that food waste has on our community.

The program is intended to be kid-run, meaning all requests are encouraged to come from youth. TOW supports a different charity each month.
