Do you love to bake? Well grab your your apron, your favorite mixing bowl and get your bake on! Share Our Strength's Great American Bake Sale is on. And, boy is it hotter than ever. Since the campaign launched more than two weeks ago, nearly 900 people have signed up to host bake sales in communities across the nation.
And, I just found out that Sandra Lee, one of our national spokespeople, will be on Fox & Friends on April 5th to talk about it. Lee understands hunger. When she was growing up, her family lived off of food stamps, and it turns out that the inspiration behind her company "Semi-Homemade" is a result of her having to make meals on limited budgets.
I had the opportunity to meet Sandra last October and she is an absolute doll during a live news segment on a local television station in Washington, D.C. She later shared her story at Share Our Strength's Conference of Leaders, which I attended, and brought the whole audience to tears.
Well, my whole point is that I hope people across the country will band together to host bake sales. It's great way to help kids in your community. For more info, check out GreatAmericanBakeSale.org.
