The organization, Share Our Strength wants to eliminate hungry children in America. Hungry children are one of the primary targets of the organization. One in 4 children wakes up everyday not knowing if they will have enough to eat. Most of us can't imagine such a thing. The Great American Bake Sale is one way to help put food on those children's plates. All over America, individuals and organizations contributed baked items to sell to support this worthy cause. All proceeds benefit Share Our Strength and their work to help the nearly 1 in 4 children in American that struggle with hunger.

The Atlanta chapter of Les Dames d'Escoffier along with friends offered their services and baked goods to help raise money. I didn't bake, but worked during the sale. (And, it wasn't easy keeping my hands out of the "cookie jar.") We raised a respectable amount for our first time hosting the sale.
