Mission 🙏

Known by bread-lovers around Beijing for it’s remarkable breads. Crazy Bake’s baked goods are presentably wrapped in brown paper, with a signature purple sticker — carrying a meaningful note:

“Made with love by Crazy Hands. You are giving the mentally ill an opportunity to improve their lives though work.”

The social enterprise has been in operation for over 10 years, serving Beijing’s foodie community with wholesome and tasty breads — and helping people with mental illness achieve independence and valuable life skills.

The bakery works in close cooperation with Beijing Chaoyang District Mental Health Service Center to provide a opportunities for mental health patients to learn and grow.

Just like bread is a metaphor for life — you’ll hear success stories of people in joining Crazy Bakers during their time of assisted living at the mental health hospital — later moving on to complete independent living as proud members of society.

With support from both bread-lovers and mental health advocates, Crazy Bake is baking up a brighter future for local people with mental health challenges.
