| A Message From Dave
|
Ever since
I put a little bit of my story on the back of the first loaf of Killer Bread we
sold at Portland Farmers Market back in August of 2005, people have wanted to
hear more. So I wrote a longer version on our website, then recently updated
it: (Read my story here). I
like to think it has helped others turn their lives around as well.
For me, DKB is not just about making the best bread I can make, although I am pretty proud of that. As we grow, more people have been and will be moved by my story. And because people are always asking me to speak to their groups, we have produced a short film that we hope will be even more effective because it is available to anyone that has access to the internet.
Baking the best bread will always be
my number one passion. Trying to help other knuckleheads find their way is a
close second. With this video, now I can do both.

Loaves and Fishes
From February 1st through the 7th, we
will be supporting Loaves and Fishes by
again donating half of all proceeds from the Healthy Bread Store for
those seven days. Loaves & Fishes Centers is a nonprofit, secular organization that
provides hot, nutritious meals to seniors 60 years and older. Come visit us during that week (or any other week for
that matter) at The Healthy Bread Store.
Project POOCH
As a result of your efforts from November 21st to December 1st, we were able to donate $4492 to a killer local charity called "Project POOCH". Project POOCH pairs incarcerated youths with otherwise doomed dogs in an effort to teach the youths responsibility and respect for life while learning to care for animals. The animals are trained and adopted by loving families in a win-win scenario. For more information please visit www.POOCH.org The Healthy Bread Store

| Earth Friendly Bags
|
I am proud to announce that starting as soon as March, we
will begin using Earth Friendly plastic for our Dave's Killer Bread bags. It's
really pretty simple: the last thing the Earth needs is a bunch of our bread
bags taking up space in a landfill. We just couldn't have that on our conscience. We already use corn-based "plastic" bags for the Farmers Markets and our Healthy Bread Store. Unfortunately, these corn-based bags are not ready for bread packaging applications.
In an effort towards continuous improvement, we are working with a company to incorporate a new plastic in the production
of our bread bags which will make them biodegrade in a 1-2 years, depending
on the disposal environment. These bags will still be recyclable with normal plastics. Although there really is no plastic that is truly good for the environment, we have found a way to at least lessen the impact of all those bread bags we produce every day. We are committed to incorporating Earth Friendly business practices with the
day-to-day operations of Dave's Killer Bread.

| Save $$$ at Killer Breadquarters |
|
To save $$$, you should visit Killer Breadquarters-officially The Healthy Bread Store--where you will find righteous deals on fresh "imperfects" (the only thing "imperfect" is how they look), day-old loaves, production overruns, and store returns (which are sold out of the freezer). This is all still very killer bread, as many folks have discovered. It's worth a trip to Milwaukie for a lot of folks. And to sweeten the deal, look for a buy one, get one free coupon on the left side of this email.
Check out the table below to see just how much you could save by making a trip down to Killer Breadquarters at:
