A portion of the proceeds will go to Share Our Strength's Great American Bake Sale / No Kid Hungry campaign. During selected months, 100% of the proceeds from my baked goods will go towards the campaign (I will announce ahead of time when those months will be).
A little bit about the campaign...
The campaign provides leadership, raises awareness and advocates for change that will make sure no kid in America ever goes hungry. Locally, these funds help Share Our Strength build partnerships that bring together public officials, nonprofits, community and faith-based groups, private funders and businesses to develop a measurable plan that will end childhood hunger in a particular state or city.
Together, these partnerships and local grants...
...give more kids a healthy start to the day by supporting effective school breakfast programs;
...ensure kids have food at home by helping more eligible families enroll in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps);
...keep kids fed outside of school hours by improving access to afterschool programs that provide snacks or meals, and increasing participation in summer meals programs;
...and teach low-income families how to cook healthy, affordable meals through Share Our Strength's Cooking Matters™ program and by funding other nutrition education programs.
