When Crystal first started Flour & Fire, she reached out to us about her mission to bake homemade meals and treats for our local first responders. She was excited, motivated, and pretty much went full speed ahead from day one. \"\ud83d\ude02\"\"\u2764\ufe0f\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What started small has quickly grown, and we couldn\u2019t be happier for her.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Crystal does this out of the kindness of her own heart, purchasing ingredients, baking, packaging and traveling to deliver everything to local stations \u2014 without charging our first responders a dime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we\u2019re really glad to see Crystal finally open the door to community donations and an Amazon wish list for supplies. \"\ud83d\ude4c\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve enjoyed watching what she\u2019s been doing for our first responders and have wanted a way to help her keep it going, this is your opportunity. Even a bag of flour, chocolate chips or some packaging supplies can help turn into the next delivery. \"\u2764\ufe0f\"<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Keep going, Crystal. We\u2019re proud to be along for the ride \u2014 and apparently this little idea isn\u2019t so little anymore. \"\ud83d\ude02\"\"\ud83c\udf6a\"\"\u2764\ufe0f\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
