What Dave’s Killer Bread actually does

Dave’s Killer Bread is an organic bread company based in Milwaukie, Oregon, founded in 2005 by Dave Dahl, who returned to his family’s bakery after serving time in prison. The company has run a Second Chance Employment program for nearly 20 years, hiring people with criminal backgrounds across its US bakeries regardless of their history.

“At Dave’s Killer Bread, we believe in Second Chance Employment: hiring the best person for the job, regardless of criminal history.”

Dave’s Killer Bread, company mission statement

Where the Second Chance program shows up

  • Flagship bakery: Milwaukie, Oregon, where the program has run for nearly 20 years
  • Named employee stories: individual second-chance hires featured on the company’s own site, including Martin, Crystal, and Drew
  • Nationwide reach: the program extends to other US bakeries beyond the Oregon flagship

Why this belongs on a sustainability directory

By building hiring practices around giving people with criminal records a real path back into stable employment, Dave’s Killer Bread connects directly to SDG8 (decent work and economic growth), addressing a workforce reentry gap most food manufacturers don’t touch. Third-party reporting has documented that roughly one in three of the company’s employees has a criminal background, a scale of commitment that goes well beyond a symbolic hiring pledge.
