Bake Sale That Delivers For America’s Children (NAPSA)—Here’s sweet news you may find very rewarding. By creating a few tasty treats and taking part in a nationwide bake sale, Americans can do their part to protect children who are at risk for hunger. The Great American Bake Sale campaign, organized every year between March 1 and June 30 by the nonprofit organization Share Our Strength, has raised nearly $4 million to fight hunger in communities across America. In the world’s wealthiest nation, no child should have to grow up hungry. Yet one in six has limited or uncertain access to the nutritious foods needed to reach full potential. Share Our Strength’s efforts are focused on three areas: increasing access to programs that provide food to children and their families; strengthening community resources that connect children to healthy food; and improving families’ knowledge about how to get the most from limited resources. A simple bake sale can help fund all these efforts—and it can be easier than you imagine to organize one in your neighborhood, at church, clubs or work. “Having a bake sale is an easy and fun way for people to make a difference in the lives of the more than 12 million American children at risk for hunger,” said Sandra Lee, campaign spokesperson and star of the Food Network’s “SemiHomemade Cooking with Sandra Lee.” “Everyone in your community and workplace can get involved by baking their favorite Semi-Homemaderecipes.” The campaign, sponsored by Domino Sugar and C&H Sugar, raises funds that support summer w—_—soSHARE OUR STRENGTH’S = GREATAMERICAN Ww BAKESALE NO KID HUNGRY PRESENTED Domi? sUG i” BY @& One delicious way to raise moneyis to organize a bake sale in your neighborhood, at church, clubs or workplace. and afterschool feeding programs for low-income children. In the summer, only 7 percent of kidseli- gible for summer feeding programs participate in them—leaving millions of schoolchildren to look elsewhere for food. Just one summer of poor nutrition can severely impact a child’s ability to be prepared for school in thefall. Bake sale funds also support Share Our Strength’s Operation Frontline program, a nutrition education program that shows families how to prepare healthy, tasty meals on a limited budget. Starting March 1, Domino Sugar, C&H Sugar and Family Circle will team up for the Bake Sale Recipe Contest.
