At the beginning of the pandemic, Jan Young started leaving jars of sourdough starter on her front porch in the Houston Heights for neighbors to take. But she never imagined how something as simple as bread could bring a community together. Young first offered jars of sourdough starter on NextDoor back in March. She thought she would only get a few responses, but she’s now given away 138 jars of starter! Her NextDoor post gave rise to the Houston Heights Bread Club, a sourdough baking community that’s over 700 members strong.
