A Bakery With No Questions Asked

The Leonard Lopate Show | Aug 21, 2017

Based in Yonkers, Greyston Bakery is known for their practice of “open hiring,” or providing jobs to people regardless of their background or work history. We're joined by CEO Mike Brady to discuss why they hire people who usually face barriers to employment like language, education, and being formerly incarcerated.

Greyston Bakery is hosting a gala on Oct. 12, honoring Ben Cohen & Jerry Greenfield of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, at the Rockefeller Estate Playhouse (200 Lake Road, Tarrytown). Cocktails start at 6:30 p.m. Dinner at 7:30 p.m.
