Joe's Bake Shoppe Logo

Season of Hope Bakery is now Joe's Bake Shoppe!

This year we are proud to announce the Season of Hope Bakery has officially been renamed Joe’s Bake Shoppe. This change honors Joe Castagnola, a beloved St. James Service Club member, cherished friend and neighbor, and the dedicated, longtime leader who kept the bakery running beautifully for years.
