Roanokeโs House of Bread helps formerly incarcerated woman find support systems
ROANOKE, Va. โ A Roanoke nonprofit dedicated to changing the lives of formerly incarcerated women say its services are more important now than ever before. Pounds of baked goods being mixed, cooked and bagged in a matter of hours is the standard for volunteers and students at House of Bread. โWe bake bread and granola and cookies and brownies and that sort of thing,โ House of Breadโs Co-Founder Lisa Goad said. Thereโs a lot of barriers, and we donโt, as a community, do a great job of supporting them,โ Goad said. House of Bread says they were able to make 100 pounds of granola and chocolate ginger cookies for the holiday season.
