Greyston Foundation has become a national model for comprehensive community development. Recognized as a pioneer in “social enterprise,” Greyston uses entrepreneurship to solve the problems of the inner city and reduce reliance on external funding sources.

Greyston Bakery, a for-profit business, has a double bottom line. “We don’t hire people to make brownies, we make brownies in order to hire people.” Those we hire at the bakery are considered to be “hard to employ.” The bakery is just one of the Foundation’s enterprises. Today, Greyston programs reach 2,200 community members annually.

Greyston Foundation’s mission is to support low-income individuals and families as they forge a path to self-sufficiency and community transformation. Greyston is an entrepreneurial and spiritually grounded organization that operates an integrated network of programs in Westchester County providing jobs, workforce development, housing, youth services, community gardens, and health care.

THANK YOU for making our annual benefit, honoring Ann Pleshette Murphy and Janet DiFiore, a wonderful success! We greatly appreciate your support and encourage you to stay involved.
