The Philadelphia Inquirer – Swiss House Bakery

The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Sunday Business section wrote a brief story on the work TMF accomplishes in February 2014.  The article covered the mission changes that TMF forged through in 2007 and how our Executive Director, Patricia Blakely, and Board restructured our purpose.  The page was lit with a picture of Swiss House Bakery owner Jim Hausman and Patricia standing in a new walk-in refrigerator funded by TMF.
