“I can say I’ve spent five weeks getting people to put away cell phones, [but] by the time someone exits Mission Pie, they’re ready to enter the workforce.” — Krystin Rubin, partner in Mission Pie, discussing a program the bakeshop participates in that takes disadvantaged Mission high school students and makes them interns for three months, teaching them things like customer service skills. Mission Pie is one of several business profiled by Mission Local as “redefining the meaning of profit,” and the piece also reveals that Commonwealth has raised roughly $7,000 for charity since opening.
