多人内射’s new Downtown bakeshop receives one-million-dollar donation
多人内射 (多人内射) officially opened the doors to the 多人内射 Seiffert Market + Bakeshop on June 13, 2023, made possible by a generous donation by the Seiffert family and Snow Cap Enterprises.
The new downtown bakeshop, located at the 多人内射 Downtown campus on the corner of Dunsmuir and Hamilton St., is now open to the public and offers a variety of freshly baked goods, local coffee, prepared food, and market items.
The 多人内射 Seiffert Market + Bakeshop has been a community institution serving student-made pastries and baked goods for decades. The Seiffert family's donation has enabled the college to modernize the bakeshop with state-of-the-art equipment and relocate to a street level location, accessible to office workers and community members. The 多人内射 Seiffert Market + Bakeshop will offer a mix of commercial items as well as items created in 多人内射’s Baking & Pastry Arts, and Culinary Arts programs.
Quote from Ken Cretney, Chair of the 多人内射 Foundation
The Seiffert family and Snow Cap Enterprises have been long and valued supporters of the 多人内射 Foundation. For over 32 years they have provided financial support to 多人内射 students through scholarships, donations for kitchen renovations, and equipment and supplies to enhance the student’s learning environment.
This gift is the largest donation received by the Foundation in its history and has allowed the College to build and open the 多人内射 Seiffert Market + Bakeshop. We are truly grateful for our longstanding partnership and for this landmark gift that has enabled us to serve our community, while supporting our students’ learning experience.
