Great American Bake Sale
15-Oct-2005
Starting October 16th and going through January 29th, the Great American Bake Sale allows you to get involved in ending childhood hunger in a very personal way. This is a national campaign organized by and managed by Share our Strength. The concept is very simple and is a great way to get kids involved in community service! You sign up to host a bake sale, have it and then send the funds to Share Our Strength. How easy is that?
$150,000 goes to specific grants to non-profits across the country. Then, 75% goes to meal programs in the communities where the funds were collected. In other words, the bulk of your contribution goes directly to programs in your area. This year 25% of the proceeds will be designated for Hurricane Katrina relief. For more information on the program; how funds are allocated and your choices for allocation; as well as ideas for hosting your bake sale, visit the site.
