Hi Wendy, thank you for taking the time to write to us here at King Arthur Baking Company. I understand that this comment is in reference to our sponsorship of Project Potluck's Baking PitchFest 2024. 

We are delighted to provide a range of programs that cater to different communities, such as children, veterans, employee-owners, and others. We recognize the significance of serving specific groups while keeping most of our programs accessible to all. We are particularly thrilled about our partnership with Project Potluck, a mentorship program that seeks to empower individuals of color in the food and culinary sectors. We fully endorse their mission and are honored to support such a deserving cause.

Helping build joyful, equitable communities that celebrate diversity is an important part of who we are as a company. I understand that you may feel frustrated with some of the efforts made  by King Arthur Baking to be a better partner to those who may have had a different experience than yours. It's important to acknowledge that  underrepresentation of People of Color in the agricultural and food distribution systems is a result of systematic exclusion for many centuries.
