Sweet Shop Gives Back to Local Schools

Los Altos, CA, May 31, 2011 — The Sweet Shop is already making its second donation to local schools. What appears as a simple “tip” jar located on the counter reads “Any spare change will go to schools”. The customers drop their change in the jar and often give even more after realizing it goes back to their schools. This is a true definition of full circle giving. The Sweet Shop has created a place for the community to enjoy and provide an opportunity for the customers to give back. Many of the customers are young children and they are contributing to their own schools with their extra change. The shop represents new ideas around community, green building concepts, local food products, and philanthropy. It has the best of the essences and simplicity from the past, and now offers our community, young and old, a place to enjoy for the future.

A total of $3800 has been collected in the last year and will be presented to two local schools, Egan Junior High School in Los Altos will receive $1900 to purchase an Interactive Presentation Presenter and Terman Junior High School in Palo Alto will receive $1900 to purchase a much needed Smart Board.

The Sweet Shop is a community sweet store with heart nestled in a quaint neighborhood of North Los Altos providing a welcoming atmosphere for family and friends to gather and enjoy Sweet Treats! Frozen Yogurt, Candy, Espresso from Verve Roasters, Fresh Baked Goods, Lunch and so much more. Life is Sweet!
