Every year across the United States, Share Our Strength asks people to host bake sales in their communities. These Great American Bake Sales raise funds for after-school and summer feeding programs–food programs that many kids depend on when school is not in session. Share Our Strength is a national organization working to make sure no kid in America grows up hungry.
And now I am pleased to welcome you to the first ever blogging community Virtual Great American Bake Sale.
Below you will find a list of Virtual Great American Bake Sale participants. Please stop by their blogs for a sampling of delicious recipes. Feel free to look around, just like you would at an actual bake sale.
