Well, What do you think of the name? What do you think that they do?
Good Bitches Baking is a network of people who want to show kindness to those in their communities who are having a tough time. They do this by baking them a delicious treat. The purpose is to give a moment of sweetness to people having a tough time, so they deliver baking to organisations that work with or support groups of people who need some kindness.
Good Bitches Baking is seeking bakers and drivers in New Plymouth to spread a bit of sweetness in the community.
Ideally you will be able to:
• Bake one batch of baking, once a month. What you bake is entirely up to you.
• Drop off the baking on the Sunday to the recipient organization you are rostered to bake for or a driver will collect this from you.
• Complete a monthly availability survey in order for the Team to be able to roster you to bake once a month.
All baking is well received. You don't need to be a patisserie chef or have a big budget. The only common ingredient is care for the people you're baking for, and all our Good Bitches put lots of this into everything they're baking.
Currently the Organisations receiving this baking to share with their people who are going through tough times and could benefit from a little kindness and sweetness in their day are Gabby’s Starlit HOPE, Taranaki Retreat, Taranaki Women’s Refuge and Neonatal Ward as well as Heart Kids (when they have events)
Anyone can be a Good Bitch – it’s a very admiring and gender-inclusive term. Good Bitches are people who want to help and like to just get stuff done. You don’t have to be a master baker, because it’s your kindness that matters the most.
As an aside, we know that life is very expensive these days and sometimes the idea of something extra in the budget is a barrier to being part of something. If this is you, please do ask about the Cup of Sugar fund.
You can also be a driver if driving is your thing! On the roster they create driving groups, and they need drivers to collect baking from each of the bakers in the group and then deliver that baking to our recipient organizations. You can be just a driver, or you can also opt in to bake as well as being a driver.

Calling All Puzzle Masters! Can You Solve This?
When John was six years old he hammered a nail into his favorite tree to mark his height.
Ten years later at age sixteen, John returned to see how much higher the nail was.
If the tree grew by five centimetres each year, how much higher would the nail be?
