BEST SELLIN G CAKE
In 1988, Homeboy Industries had a different name (Jobs for a Future), a different slogan (Nothing Stops a Bullet Like a Job), and a different address (Dolores Mission Parish, in Boyle Heights). Then we launched a bakery and tortilleria to provide jobs for gang members and changed our name. We began to understand that a lethal absence of hope that drives men and women to crime could not be cured by a job alone, so we told them that hope has an address. And we received so many men and women looking for an exit ramp to street life that we moved to a larger headquarters in gang-neutral downtown Los Angeles.
KUGELHOPF BUTTER CAKE RING Our Austrian style all butter and sour cream cake ring is simply delicious. Enjoy as an elegant dessert paired with fresh fruit and a dollop of crème fresh. – Net wt. 1lb 10oz. Serves 6-8 (EC91081) | $19.95
Nearly 30 years later, we have become the largest and most successful gang rehabilitation and reentry program in the world. Our essence remains the same: we are here to dispel the myth that some lives matter less than other lives. We stand with those on the margins so that the margins get erased. We situate ourselves right next to the disposable so that the day will come when we stop throwing people away. Today, we receive more than 1,500 visitors in any given month. Clients and members of our job training program. School groups and tourists. Parole officers and peace activists. They come to see how we provide hope, training, and support to men and women allowing them to redirect their lives and become contributors of the community. I’m excited to introduce our first Homeboy Foods catalog full of items I know you’ll enjoy. Thank you for standing with us on the margins. Together let’s erase them. Father Greg, Founder & Executive Director, Homeboy Industries

From Our Hands to Yours
The Homeboy Bakery Story
CUSTOMER FAVORITE DOUBLE CINNAMON RAISIN BREAD We start with all butter parker house dough filled with plump and moist black raisins. We roll each one and fill it with a special blend of cinnamon sugar. Rolled into a loaf and baked. After each loaf cools, our bakers melt butter, brush the outside and roll once again in cinnamon sugar. It makes great toast and will take your PB&J to a whole new level. – Net wt. 19oz. Serves 6 - 8 (EC114271) | $7.95
More than 25 years after Homeboy Bakery opened its doors, we have a round-the-clock production facility creating artisan baked goods. Our bakers are “homies” from rival gangs who have learned to work side by side and who are reimagining their lives day by day. The taste, quality, and craftsmanship of our cakes, pastries, and cookies rival that of any artisanal bakery you’ll find. And with your purchase, you can be assured that giving back never tasted so good.
