The volunteer Warkworth group Good Bitches Baking (GBB) is on the lookout for some new helpers.
Head bitch Pippa Plummer says that post-Covid, the group is struggling to attract enough volunteers to provide baking, which is delivered free of charge to people facing personal challenges.
“Our volunteers commit to usually one box of baking a month, which they make in their own homes,” Plummer says
“They bake anything they like and attach a little flyer with the ingredients and a kind message. Some even get their kids involved to decorate the standard GBB boxes. Volunteer drivers then drop the baking off.”
The group isn’t restricted to just women and children. Men are equally welcome and encouraged to become Good Bitches.
Plummer says the home baking goes to people in the district identified by welfare organisations.
“We are always on the lookout for new recipients,” she says.
Since the group formed in 2019, they have delivered 362 boxes or “7240 moments of sweetness”.
“We value each box of baking at $92.50 in terms of volunteer time, ingredients, fuel and other consumables so that’s a volunteer contribution of $33,485 to the social economy of Warkworth.”
