I got an email from Alice Marshall, from Share Our Strength Team and it touched me, as well as a couple friends who took the challenge of No Food For You for a weekend to see what it was like to be that child who does not have food available to them on the weekend and have to take full advantage of school breakfast/lunch programs at school.
Great American Bake Sale benefits afterschool and summer feeding programs that benefit millions of children. Today, more than 12 million children in the United States do not know when their next meal will come. Unfortunately, this number continues to rise as these difficult economic times are leaving more and more people jobless, without homes, and unable to provide food for their families.
If you would like to support this cause or have your own bake sale, here is the information:
1. Sign-up to host a bake sale: Great American Bake Sale
2. Buy the virtual Great American Bake Sale eBook: Click here to buy the book
