Sister bakesales: Akron Vegan Bakesale for Japan (Akron, OH)
Toronto Bakes for Japan (Toronto, ON)
Last year they raised $23,000 at their Bakesale for Haiti and we'd like your help to raise more. With your help, we can break their bakesale record!
Here's what I know so far:
- It will be on Saturday, 4/2 from 10am-2pm
- You DO NOT have to be a professional cook/baker to participate!
- We currently have 15 locations and counting with more TBA around the Nation.
- Please label all donated food items with your Brand Identity and product name.
- Please email me at LosAngelesBakesale@gmail.com with a list of all items donated, ingredients used, and quantity of items being donated.
- Individually wrapped treats, when possible, as well as half-dozens, dozens, whole cakes/pies/tarts/loaves etc. are preferred (rather than a basket of unwrapped cookies meant to be sold one by one)
- Bake as much as you like! The more stuff we have to sell, the better! We literally cannot have too many baked goods.
- Gluten-free/ dairy-free/ vegan/ nut items are welcome and should be clearly labeled as such.
- All items must be delivered with a complete list of ingredients, as well as an item name.
- Please plan to deliver your goods in containers you will not need returned.
- If you'd like to donate a non-food item, such as artwork, a gift certificate, etc, please email me with specifics
- I will also need quite a few volunteers to help organize, collect, and distribute baked goods, as well as work the sales, so if you're not into baking, let me know if you want to help in this way.
- Japanese specialties such as mochi and other delicacies are more than welcome.
- We sell everything by suggested donation, so the more delicious/special the items, and the nicer the packaging/presentation, the more money we can get! Please keep this in mind (i.e. no cake mixes and regular old rice krispie treats, please).
- We will be folding 1,000 paper cranes at the bakesale locations. If you can donate origami paper or teach others to fold cranes, please let me know.
Tell all of your friends! We cannot have too many volunteer bakers, and we certainly cannot have too many patrons!!!
If you cannot bake, please support us by spreading the word via twitter, FB, your school listserv, etc. And of course, do come buy some sweets on Saturday, April 2nd!
Thank you!
