BAKE AGAINST POVERTY
A Movement to Support Those Who Need It Most
#BakeAgainstPoverty
The #bakeagainstpoverty virtual bake sale is a movement that will help us make an impact in our local communities through the holiday season. Our human service agencies & organizations, our communities need us, now more than ever.
Are you passionate at-home baker?
Are you a professional baker looking to donate to a cause?
Do you enjoy baking in the spirit of the season?
If YES, then I inspire you to join me and setup your own #bakeagainstpoverty virtual bake sale and join the movement.
All you need to do is:
1. Setup your virtual bake sale.
2. Sell your baked goods.
3. Donate all or a portion of your proceeds to a human services agency or any other organization of your choice that offers programs in the fight against poverty.
4. On 12/23 post to social media using the hashtag #bakeagainstpoverty the amount of money your raised in the movement to fight poverty.
I believe that we can make a difference through food and this movement gives us all the power to “Be The Change” during the holiday season and bake for good.
**Pre-order sales are encouraged now through December 15th.**
**On December 23rd, we will all post using the hastag #bakeagainstpoverty sharing all the good we've done in our local communities.**
