Help End Childhood Hunger — Great American Bake Sale

Back when I was a child, I remember my grandmother volunteering for a local organization that found food for hungry families. Once a month or so, she'd spend the evening sitting by her rotary dial phone to receive calls from families who had no food and to direct them to various local community resources where they could obtain food. Poverty and hunger in the US has, sadly, only grown since that time.

With that said, although there's just a month left in the campaign, it's not too late to participate in the Great American Bake Sale.

Organized by Share Our Strength, a nation-wide nonprofit that brings together individuals and businesses to end hunger, the Great American Bake Sale raises funds that are distributed to community organizations that work to increase participation by low-income children in summer and after-school feeding programs and to support nutrition education programs for low-income families. 

The Great American Bake Sale has raised over 3 million dollars since 2003. In 2005, they sent 91% of bake sale proceeds to organizations across America to fight childhood hunger, which is an excellent ratio. In Michigan, community organizations that receive funding from the Bake Sale include Mayor's Time,Inc. in Detroit and the Center for Civil Justice in Saginaw.

I wish I had learned about this earlier! The Great American Bake Sale sounds like a fantastically fun way to be part of a nationwide grassroots movement to raise money to fight hunger. I'm wondering if I can squeeze in a bake sale somehow in the next few weeks, but even if I can't, Mercedes Bent of Share Our Strength has told me that anyone can have a bake sale and donate the proceeds to the program any time of the year.

(If a bake sale isn't in your future but you'd still like to help out, you can donate directly to Share Our Strength.)
