A portion of proceeds from MILK + TEA’s baked goods such as sourdough bagels, sourdough bread, sourdough cinnamon rolls, sourdough muffins, cookies and Bubble Tea Boba Kits will be donated to Marentette’s Mission. Funds raised will help provide resources for underprivileged individuals and families across the Peterborough community.
Marentette’s Mission was created by Thanasi Marentette to give back to the community that shaped his journey as a competitive athlete. Inspired by the values learned through sport, the donation-driven initiative is dedicated to making a meaningful and lasting impact for those who need support most in Peterborough.
“Marentette’s Mission is very excited to partner with MILK + TEA to continue to support the Peterborough Community,” said Marentette. “After the success of the Warm Hands, Warm Hearts Winter Clothing Drive, it was important to me that we kept the momentum going.”
In addition to supporting Marentette’s Mission, proceeds from the fundraiser will also help MILK + TEA Brewing Confidence initiative continue its own inclusive mission to offer hands-on employment opportunities for young adults with down syndrome and individuals with disabilities.
“Community partnerships like this allow us to give back while continuing to invest in inclusive training and employment,” said Philip Cho from MILK + TEA Brewing Confidence. “We are incredibly grateful for the support and excited to work alongside Marentette’s Mission to make a difference locally.”
Pre-orders for the fundraiser and baked goods can be placed online, with pickup available on Fridays at 57–360 George St. N. Registration for MILK + TEA’s training program is also currently open.
