Cooking for Culture Announces Participating Bakers and Makers for Second Annual Community Bake Sale on August 23
More than 25 vendors confirmed for August 23 bake sale benefiting Kaizen Food Rescue and the Rocky Mountain Immigration Advocacy Network
DENVER (August 5, 2026)—Cooking for Culture, a community bake sale launched by local organizers, is excited to announce the lineup of participating vendors for its second annual event on Sunday, August 23, from 10 a.m. until goods sell out, at Joyride Brewing (2501 Sheridan Blvd, Edgewater, CO 80214).
The Cooking for Culture community bake sale will feature a variety of baked goods from 25+ local food vendors, bakeries, and restaurants. One hundred percent of proceeds will benefit Kaizen Food Rescue, a Denver-based nonprofit founded on the principle that food is a human right, and the Rocky Mountain Immigration Advocacy Network (RMIAN), which provides free immigration legal and social services to children and detained adults in need.
“RMIAN is overjoyed to be a recipient of the 2nd Annual Cooking for Culture Community Bake Sale. Community support and a deep recognition of the incredible contributions of immigrant community members drive our work. RMIAN's team works every day to provide free legal representation and social support for children who otherwise would be forced to navigate a complex and adversarial court system entirely on their own. RMIAN also provides free legal representation to individuals in civil immigration detention. Our clients include long-standing community members, beloved family members, asylum seekers, survivors of trafficking and other crimes, young adults, and elders—all of whom have been imprisoned solely because of a civil immigration infraction. Thank you for supporting RMIAN's work for equal access to justice," says Mekela Goehring, RMIAN Executive Director.
