Good Old Fashion BAKESALE
Human Awareness
Social
Community Service
Description:
Bakesale with the money going to building supplies for a Family Shelter.
Instructions/Things Needed:
Ask a couple of roommates as coordinators. They can go around & ask floor members to
be Bakers &/or Sellers. We sold at the front of our hall on Fat Tuesday (a day before
people have to give up something for Lent). We set up a goal of $200 & made a poster
that we could fill in to show our progress throughout the day. This pushed
people to help. (We made $207)
Other Considerations:
Publicity two weeks in advance & mailbox reminders for the bakers & sellers 3 days
before. ORGANIZATION was a key to our success. Giving credit to people was second. I
sent thank you cards to the coordinators & they went a step further and decorated the
door of a guy who bought $25 worth of food the day after.
