It’s that time of year again! 

Each Spring, a team of NYC food bloggers and bakers get together to bake a difference for No Kid Hungry. Help end childhood hunger by joining our team at the Brooklyn Flea in Fort Greene! 

Proceeds will benefit No Kid Hungry, the national nonprofit organization working to end childhood hunger in the U.S. by 2015.  

We currently have enough volunteers, as well as baked good & raffle donations but you can still help make No Kid Hungry a reality by doing one or all of the following: 

  1. Take the No Kid Hungry pledge - it’s free! 
  2. Sponsor our team by matching donations, donating a percentage of your business’ sales, or become one of our promotional sponsors. Please fill out this form for more details: Sponsor Sign-Up Form
  3. Tweet and share about our event - follow #NYCBakeSale on Twitter for the latest updates
  4. Invite all of your Facebook friends to the bake sale!
  5. Come down to the Brooklyn Flea on Saturday, May 4th and buy lots of brownies, blondies, cupcakes, cookies, and a whole lot more - there will even be some gluten-free goodies! 
  6. Donate online if you can’t make it to the bake sale.  Help us reach our $3,000 goal! 
  7. Enter one of our sponsored raffles (with a donation of $10 or more)! 

Whichever way you decide to get involved, we truly appreciate your support!

Thanks to all of our generous sponsors, bakers, volunteers, supporters, and donors, the NYC Food Blogger Bake Sale was a HUGE success! We were able to raise $3400 (and counting!) $3,655.25 for Share Our Strength!  And even better news is that because we were one of the top 3 food blogger bake sales, Domino Sugar has matched our funds making our grand total: $7,310.50!! You rock, NYC!

We appreciate every single person who stopped by our booth at the Brooklyn Flea  this past Saturday and picked up a sweet treat!  BIG thanks to the Flea for hosting us, Joe’s Crab Shack for sponsoring our awesome volunteer t-shirts, Whole Foods (Union Square) for providing reusable grocery bags for serious sweets lovers, and Fondu (check out their iPhone app!) for their kind donation to cover our advertising/printing needs!

Last, but certainly not least - please give a huge virtual round of applause to all of our blogger-bakers, and especially our day-of volunteers!  Without them, we would not have had the delicious array of goodies as we did, nor would the day have ran as smoothly.  It was truly a team effort.  

Thank you, NYC for your kindness and support - together we will make No Kid Hungry a reality.  

If you would still like to make a contribution, please click on the “Donate Now” button below.  Every little bit counts!  Thank you.
