Sadness and Celebration + Free Wednesday Soup Lunches for those affected by the fires 🔥💗

We were with family in Florida celebrating our daughter Naomi's 10th birthday when the news of the devastating Marshall fire hit us full force. So many lost everything in so little time. As days go by, we learn of more and more victims. Our daughter's student teacher, several women in my Swedish meet-up group, families from my Thai boxing community... The devastation is incomprehensible and this is at a time when Omicrome is raging through the country. While feeling fear and pain, we also feel immense gratitude that we have such a strong community, that we are alive and healthy, and that we have birthdays to celebrate.

In collaboration with our friends at South Street Market in Louisville, we’d like to invite those affected by the fires to nurturing soup lunches including Hävenly's bread on Wednesdays throughout January. The soup lunches will be served each Wednesday from 11 am (until we run out) and the address is 824 South St, Louisville. All you have to do is let someone from South Street Market know that you would like the free soup lunch mentioned in this email.

We are currently trying to get back to Colorado as flight after flight gets canceled. As soon as we do make it back, we will help collect items for those who lost their homes. Stay tuned for those efforts. Please let us know if you have other ideas as how we can help.

On a longer term, Hävenly will continue to work on reducing its environmental footprint and are grateful to be part of Boulder County Food & Beverage Pollution-Reduced Packaging Pilot. The pilot provides much-needed support in evaluating sustainable packaging options for Hävenly's baked goods and bread mixes, and it connects us with other food manufacturers that share our zero waste mission.

Grateful to partner with South Street Market in Lousiville for our Wednesday soup lunches supporting those affected by the fires.

Grateful for life.
