In Charleston? Stop by Cupcake for a treat and help end childhood hunger

This week, be sure to stop by Cupcake in the Belle Hall Shopping Center for a treat that will not only satisfy your sweet tooth, but also help a very worthy cause--helping end childhood hunger in our community. Cupcake, one of the Lowcountry's favorite cupcakeries, has created a commemorative cupcake for Share Our Strength's Great American Bake Sale to raise awareness and funds of an issue that affects children in our community and across the nation.

According to recent studies, the poverty rate among children under the age of 18 is above the national poverty rate. Twenty-one percent of children live below the poverty line in South Carolina compared to 18% nationally.

Childhood hunger is problem is a problem in our community, but you can make a huge difference. So, this week, please be sure to stop by Cupcake because the funds raised through this promotion will help feed kids in our community.

And, if you're planning to attend this year's Family Circle Cup, be sure to stop by the Family Circle Magazine Bake Sale. A number of favorite shops have donated delicious baked goods, including Charleston Cooks!, Cupcake, Whole Foods Market and Ashley Bakery.

Great American Bake Sale Continues to Makes its Way On the Web

I still remain fascinated by the power of speed on the Internet. We're now 23 days into its campaign, and more than one thousand people have signed up to host bake sales for Share Our Strength. Thanks to foodie bloggers, mommy bloggers, as well as other bloggers, the word about Great American Bake Sale is spreading. There could be many reasons for this success--much of it can be attributed to the time we live in, but I think it's something else--the spirit of hope and the belief that it can just take one person to help another.

This hope and belief inspired Great American Bake Sale's campaign theme this year--"you or I" can help end childhood hunger by hosting a bake sale, and that every little bit counts. This hope has taken the web by storm, inspiring bloggers to help in ways that you could not imagine. One blogger is so inspired that she partnered with Bake Sale on an e-recipe book in conjunction with her virtual bake sale. Submissions will be accepted until April 5 with the book being released on April 13. For more information check out Cooking During Stolen Moments.

So, as you can see, Great American Bake Sale is inspiring Americans across the country to help. Why? Because anyone can help by "sharing their own strengths."
