In this episode of the Happy Hostess podcast, the host, Kristie LaLonde chats with Lauren Jacobs of the Cheerful Baker about building community through fundraisers and charitable events. Lauren shares her insights on how hosting for a good cause can create deeper connections, strengthen friendships, and make a lasting impact. We explore creative ways to incorporate a cause into gatherings while making guests feel valued and inspired. Plus, we discuss our current collaboration to support Cookies for Kids, a pediatric cancer research nonprofit, in partnership with Challenge Butter.
