MS Fundraiser at Great Harvest
Very near our house are two excellent bakeries at 48th and Old Cheney: Grain Bin and Great Harvest. Not only do they both have fantastic products, they also both happen to be run by incredible people.
The last time The Missus was in Great Harvest they told her about an upcoming fundraiser. I received an e-mail today (thanks, Gene!) with the details:
Raisin’ Dough on Sunday!
From Kevin Horne, owner of Great Harvest Bread Company of Lincoln:I have a request to make. Please visit our bakery this Sunday and pick up a loaf or two of bread. It is our second annual fundraising event, Rasin’ Dough, benefiting the Nebraska Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Julie and I are donating the bakery, all the ingredients & expertise. That means every dollar you spend goes to the National MS Society. We don’t keep any of it - when I say 100% I mean 100%!
When I was diagnosed with MS five years ago, the society was there to provide me and my family with vital information. Today the Society conti nues to help me and so may others.
So, I hope to see you Sunday as we work hard to sell 1,000 loaves of bread. The bakery will be open between 10 and 4 and staffed by a crew of many volunteers. It will be fun and quite an exciting day! If you or someone you know would like to help out, we could probably use your help. Call the bakery at 421-0195.
Forwarding this to 5 of your friends won’t bring you good luck forever, but it might help us raise more dough!
Thank you! Kevin
South Side of 48th & Old Cheney
Special Event Times 10-4
Sunday, August 16
You can count The Wilsons in for a loaf or two. See you at Great Harvest on Sunday!

My wife went there yesterday at about 1pm and they were almost out of bread. Awesome.

The Missus and Robbie got there about 1:30 and they only had wheat left. Good thing that’s what she was in the mood for!
