State College teenager Madeline Krentzman launched a project last year in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting food insecurity that she saw in her community. Now, nearly 10 months after the State High junior first began Bake with Love, Krentzman’s hard work is paying off with the launch of the initiative’s first fundraiser, the “Bake with Love” cookbook.
“I started working on the project in May of last year,” Krentzman says. “We were amidst the COVID-19 pandemic… and it really was coming from a place of gratitude. I felt really thankful for everything that I had in this really difficult situation and I knew there were a lot of people in my community that did not have that same situation. I was able to combine my love of baking and food with another one of my passions, helping the community. I made this project as a result of that.”
