On Saturday, May 4th, a sweet day was had by all at the NYC Bake Sale for No Kid Hungry. We couldn’t have asked for better weather! The sunny skies brought out crowds in full force at the Brooklyn Flea. Many thanks again to the team at the Flea for accommodating us and their continued support of this event.

Thanks to our generous sponsors, volunteers, bakers, and donors, we were able to meet and exceed our fundraising goal of $3,000 for No Kid Hungry! However, this is a preliminary total as we are still waiting for some funds to come through. We’ll update this post once that happens.

It’s always amazing to see how baked goods can bring people together for a good cause. People who love food, baking, blogging, and using their platforms for good. These commonalities allow us to truly work together as a team to raise awareness of the food insecurity prevalent in this country. As food bloggers, we hope to continue using our skills and strengths to help those in need.

To our fellow food bloggers and bakers, thank you for making a beautiful day even more so by sharing your love in baked goods and treats.

To our donors and supporters - we appreciate each of you who stopped by our booth at the Flea - whether you picked up one cookie, or went home with a tote bag full goodies, our heartfelt thanks for your support. And let’s not forget all those who made online donations and entered in our sponsored raffles - your donations truly helped us reach our goal.

Finally, to our sponsors - we would like to express our gratitude for partnering with us to help make No Kid Hungry a reality! We could not have done so well without your support.

Please visit our contributors page to see all of the sponsors, bakeries and blogger bakers who played a part in making May 4th an amazing day. Also, for a complete list of donated baked goods see this post.
