Seattle Food Bloggers Team Up to Benefit Share Our Strength
« Read the full blog
Some two dozen local food bloggers recruited by “Frantic Foodie” Keren Brown will bake cookies for the Great American Bake Sale this weekend. Proceeds will benefit Share Our Strength, the culinary industry’s fundraiser to help end childhood hunger.
The sale by Seattle food bloggers—one of dozens nationwide—will take place at the Metropolitan Market Uptown on Lower Queen Anne on Saturday morning, April 17th, from 10 AM until noon.
Among the bloggers donating baked goods are Jesse Oleson of Cakespy.com, Shauna James Ahern from GlutenFreeGirl.Blogspot and many other well-know bloggers. Each participant will have two dozen cookies (and their recipes) for sale at the event. For a complete list of the food bloggers participating, visit click here.
“Readers and fans will have the opportunity to taste the baked goods from their favorite food blogs,” “We’re thrilled that Metropolitan Market Uptown is offering us the space for this fund-raising event,” Brown, said.
The national effort to involve bloggers in the Great American Bake Sale was spearheaded by Gaby Dalkin, a personal chef in Los Angeles and author of a blog called WhatsGabyCooking.com.
All funds raised through the event support Share Our Strength’s efforts to end childhood hunger in America by helping fund after-school and summer nutrition programs. “Summer is an especially difficult time, because the children facing hunger in America, nearly 17 million children, will no longer have access to the school-based meals they rely on,” said Bill Shore, executive director of Share Our Strength.
