Great American Bake Sale-Press Release

We all could help out our community a little more. I know I'm guilty of not helping as much as I used to. Please view the press release and see if this is something you think you could do to help give back.

2009 Great American Bake Sale

Why You Should Get Involved

By signing up to host a Bake Sale, you are taking the first step to end childhood hunger in America. Bake Sale proceeds will be donated to after-school and summer feeding programs in your community and across the country.

Hunger: An American Issue
Problem: 500,000 more children live in poverty now than a year ago and 16 million children rely on food stamps.

Solution: Last year Great American Bake Sale funds helped feed 2.1 million children through summer and afterschool food programs. Host a Great American Bake Sale. Sign-up now.

Why Support Great American Bake Sale?

100% of the funds you raise help feed kids.
Funds you raise from your local bake sale stay local, supporting afterschool and summer feeding programs in your community food programs that hundreds and thousands of kids depend on.
You can host a bake sale based on your schedule and in your community. You don’t have to run a marathon or make a large donation to make a huge difference!
It’s a fun solution with a large impact.

Looking for Other Creative Options?

If you don't want to bake, you can still get involved by holding other activities. This year, participants have held BBQs and invited friends. Others connected with their local 4-H club, baked treats for pets and sold those. The possibilities are endless.
