Arkansas food bloggers are joining bloggers across the country on Saturday, May 4 to participate in the national Food Blogger Bake Sale, benefiting the No Kid Hungry program of Share Our Strength, an organization committed to ending childhood hunger in America. The local event is 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 7th and Main Streets in North Little Rock, adjacent to the Argenta Certified Arkansas Farmers’ Market. All proceeds from the sale will go to No Kid Hungry.
All No Kid Hungry programs in Arkansas are administered by the Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance.
The sale will feature baked goods by local bloggers and Twitter personalities, as well as from central Arkansas professional bakers such as Dempsey Bakery, Sweet Love and Gigi’s Cupcakes.
Members of partner organizations Arkansas Women Bloggers and Arkansas Food Bloggers Network will also auction items on their blogs to raise funds before the event date. Bake sale planners hope to double last year’s funds raised, with a goal of $2,000 this year. Those wishing to donate funds directly may do so at http://join.strength.org/goto/ARFBBS.
The Arkansas event is chaired by Christie Ison of FancyPantsFoodie.com.
