About Dog Tag
At Dog Tag Bakery, we're more than just a bakery - we're part of Dog Tag Inc., a mission-driven organization that blends the art of baking with a powerful commitment to social impact. Based in DC's Georgetown neighborhood, Dog Tag Bakery provides an innovative, hands-on educational program for veterans, military spouses, and caregivers, equipping them with the skills to launch their own businesses or transition to meaningful careers in the civilian workforce.

Our bakery is a place where delicious treats and meaningful service meet. Every item we create reflects our dedication to supporting those who have served our country. With every loaf, cookie, and pastry, we honor the veterans, military families, and caregivers who walk through our doors, offering them a path to success through learning, community, and empowerment.

Why Dog Tag?
What makes Dog Tag truly unique is our holistic approach to social impact. We don't just serve great food; we provide a supportive environment for veterans and their families to thrive, grow, and connect. Our values of service, entrepreneurship, empowerment, and respect guide everything we do - from the way we interact with our team to the way we engage with our customers.

As part of our growing team, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to a mission that's bigger than baking. You'll help empower individuals, change lives, and make an impact every day. This is more than a job; it's an opportunity to contribute to a legacy that transforms the lives of veterans, military families, and caregivers while serving delicious food to the community.
