With Monarch butterfly populations in Central Mexico declining 80%+ since the 1990s, La Monarca Bakery – a beloved LA bakery chain known for its authentic Mexican pan dulce, cookies, and coffees – is kick-starting its Annual Earth Month Circles Fundraiser for its non-profit partner ECOLIFE Conservation at its 12 bakery-cafes in Los Angeles.

Throughout Earth Month, customers are invited to donate $1 to ECOLIFE Conservation’s Monarch Butterfly programs in Michoacán, Mexico. Supporters will receive a commemorative “Friend of the Monarchs” circle badge, which they can either take home or display on the walls inside La Monarca locations, transforming the stores into vibrant, symbolic Monarch butterfly forests. 100% of all proceeds will directly fund ECOLIFE’s conservation work.

This campaign reaffirms La Monarca Bakery’s commitment to preserving and protecting the Monarch butterfly population, and is a result of La Monarca Bakery’s long-standing partnership with ECOLIFE Conservation, which cultivates impactful solutions to care for the delicate habitat of the Monarch butterflies that La Monarca Bakery honors in its namesake.

“Caring for the environment is part of our company’s mission and we are dedicated to helping preserve the Monarch Butterfly. This Earth Month, we hope to inspire our communities to take action and make a greater impact together,” said Ricardo Cervantes, CEO & Co-Founder of La Monarca Bakery.

“The Monarch butterfly is not just an iconic species; it is a vital indicator of our planet’s health,” added Connor Leone, CEO of ECOLIFE Conservation. “La Monarca Bakery’s partnership helps us implement sustainable solutions, like building fuel-efficient stoves that reduce forest degradation, improve human health, and protect Monarch habitat. We are grateful for their continued dedication and the positive change we are creating together.”

La Monarca Bakery, a beloved U.S. Hispanic food brand known for its authentic pan dulce, cookies, coffees and chocolate beverages, is proud to announce the launch of its signature Wedding Cookies in all Costco Mexico locations.

This expansion marks a meaningful homecoming for La Monarca Bakery’s founders. “Our mission has always been to share the Sweet Flavor of Mexico™” co-founder & CEO Ricardo Cervantes “so bringing our products to Costco Mexico is a special moment for us.”

Founded by Ricardo Cervantes and Alfredo Livas and inspired by the panaderías they grew up with in Mexico, La Monarca Bakery set out to recreate the cherished flavors of their youth using simple, high-quality ingredients without artificial flavors or preservatives. La Monarca opened its first location in Huntington Park, California in 2006, and has since expanded to 12 bakery-cafes and a popular line of packaged cookies, coffees and hot chocolate beverages that can be found at over 1,000 retail locations across the U.S.

La Monarca Bakery’s delectable butter and pecan Wedding Cookies are made with only five ingredients, and they are popular with consumers for both celebrations and as an afternoon treat!
