This week for First Friday downtown Sarnia we are putting together our first ever Bake Sale To Solve World Hunger. We’ll have tons of tasty treats for sale from our very own in house baker and they will only be $0.25 each! We will keep track of how our proceeds are doing live on a website while contrasting the total with the total world debt and display it on the wall behind us. If you buy a treat you will also get one of the postcards below.
As people walked by I always said “Can I interest you in some baked goods so we can solve world hunger?”
