Great American Bake Sale

Join the generationOn Team for the Great American Bake Sale and help end childhood hunger!
Great American Bake Sale Banner

Body

 

GenerationOn has a nation-wide bake sale team
and we want you on it! All you have to do is sign up below and have a bake sale!

 

 

 

 

What is it and how it works:

One in five kids in America struggles with hunger. Kids who struggle with hunger have a hard time learning in school and don't get the nutrition they need to grow up strong and healthy. GenerationOn kids and teens are teaming up to end this struggle by joining the Great American Bake Sale!

The Great American Bake Sale happens all across the country, all year long. Awesome youth and caring adults sign up to hold bake sales and send their profits to Share Our Strength. Share Our Strength uses that money to end childhood hunger.

You can schedule your bake sale whenever you want, but the National Challenge is April 20-22. It would be sweet if your bake sale won! The first 300 bake sale hosts to submit $275 or more from bake sales held on National Challenge Weekend will receive a Jay at Play’s Little Miss Muffin Pop N Flip™ toy.

More sweet stuff:

You can win prizes for how much money your bake sale earns. You can even become a Bake Sale Rockstar and get your name up on the Share Our Strength website.

When you sign up as part of the generationOn Team, you get a poster, resources and the $10 fee is waived!

There's an entire Resource Center to help you make your bake sale a huge success!

Check out the planning guide to the left - you'll find tons of ideas!

  1. If you're under 13, grab a grown-up. You'll need to enter some info about yourself.
