Bake to Make a Difference

Hunger is affecting more people in our country than ever before, especially children.  

Did you know...
-14.1 million children in America live in poverty. That’s 5.5% more than a year ago. (For a four-person family, that means getting by on less than $420 a week.)
-Nearly half (49.2%) of American children will receive SNAP (food stamp) benefits at some point in their life.
-The weak economy has put millions of previously secure American families at risk.

The good news is you can help.  Join the Great American Bake Sale and host an event of your own.  Monies raised will benefit Share Our Strength, a leading organization dedicated to ending childhood hunger in America.

Here's how the money will help:
-$25 Can help feed one child three healthy meals every day for a month.
-$50 Can help connect one child with healthy meals throughout the summer.
-$100 Can help provide 25 children facing hunger with backpacks full of healthy food to feed them and their families over the weekend.
-$200 Can help buy grocery bags of healthy foods for 50 families in need.
-$500 Can help reach twelve low-income families with a life-changing, six-week nutritious cooking and food budgeting course.
