For our end-of-year Spotlight we wanted to profile a company that has long been a vanguard of the justice-impacted community, and the amazing work they are doing to help returning citizens: Dave’s Killer Bread. 

Born into a family of bakers, Dave Dahl was incarcerated for a total of 15 years. During his last sentence however, he had a pivotal moment of clarity when he realised, he wanted to more. Welcomed back into the small family bakery upon release, he worked tirelessly to make amazing breads unlike anything else on the market. 

Now, they do more than just bake incredible loaves. Inspired by Dave’s story of redemption, Dave’s Killer Bread are a proud Second Chance Employer, looking beyond an individual’s past and hiring the best person for the job, regardless of criminal history.
