Our families know the pain of being forced from your home due cruel wars. We were surprised by the demand for our Ukrainian inspired cookies and now hope to sell 10,000 and raise $25,000 to help.”
HOUSTON, TX, UNITED STATES, March 14, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The owners of Three Brothers Bakery, in Houston, Texas, understand what it means to be forced from your home as 5th generation baker Bobby Jucker’s father, uncles and aunt survived the Holocaust concentration camps and came to the United States as refugees. His wife, Janice, also had a grandmother and grandfather who were forced out of the Ukraine by the Russian Czar’s henchmen and arrived as refugees.— 5th Generation Baker, Bobby Jucker
They knew they had to do something to help, so they decided to bake. They chose a heart with the colors of the Ukrainian flag and hoped they would sell 1000 cookies. 50% of proceeds are being donated to Ukrainian relief efforts of the Jewish Federations of North America, who hope to raise $20,000,000. So the Juckers thought they would be happy to raise $2500 toward the cause. They sold 1000 cookies in two days. Now they have revised their goal to 10,000 cookies which would equal $25,000 – the largest bake sale fundraiser they have ever held.
“Our families know the pain of being forced from your home due cruel wars. We were surprised by the demand for our Ukrainian inspired cookies and now hope to sell 10,000 and raise $25,000 to help,” said 5th generation baker, Bobby Jucker.
The Ukrainian inspired heart cookies can be picked up at one of their three stores; six packs of cookies can be ordered online for pickup or one dozen packs can be ordered online for shipping in the United States.
