An Oregon woman's giant cinnamon rolls raise more than $29,000 for a food bank. 'I cry out of happiness a lot. I have felt like this really allowed me to focus on something positive under these really terrible circumstances,' she says.
Whitney Rutz is not a baker by trade, but she decided to make a giant cinnamon roll with her 7-year-old daughter to help raise her family's spirits amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Rutz's social media followers were amazed by photos of the cinnamon roll, 12 inches in diameter and about 5 pounds. That's when she decided to auction a giant cinnamon roll, thinking she'd raise money for the Oregon Food Bank."If you're in dire straits and you're trying to figure out how to pay your rent and your utility bills, at least you have the food bank and can leverage that service, which is just so, so, so great," she said.That was in March.
"It's been wonderful," Rutz said."I cry out of happiness a lot. I have felt like this really allowed me to focus on something positive under these really terrible circumstances."More than 50 who worked, voted in Wisconsin election have COVID-19 It remains unclear how many — if any — of those people contracted the virus at the polls and health officials are still collecting testing and tracing information. But officials say they don’t expect the number of known cases potentially tied to the election to grow substantially.
