Working to Expand Employment Opportunities for People with Criminal Backgrounds About the Dave's Killer Bread Foundation Dave's Killer Bread employs over 300 employee partners, and 1 in 3 of them has a criminal background. Over the years Dave's Killer Bread has embraced these individuals as vital members of the organization that power the national brand. Seeing firsthand the passionate dedication these partners bring to the company, Dave's Killer Bread leadership began to realize that there is a critical missing piece in the complex puzzle that underlies successful reentry after a person completes a jail or prison sentence. The Dave's Killer Bread Foundation sees tremendous potential to educate and encourage businesses about the practical side of Second Chance employment. We realize that sometimes, a lack of information or understanding about employing people with criminal backgrounds is the reason that businesses are hesitant to explore this option, and we want to change that. The programming developed by the foundation helps employers develop a more complete understanding of the why and the how behind Second Chance Employment in a simple, user-friendly way. We're very excited to have you join us in this movement. We can assist you in implementing these practices in your own company, and encourage you to invite other organizations to follow suit. Here's to powering Second Chance employment and championing the greatness inside everyone.
