Homemade Treats
People love sweets so hosting a sale of homemade treats can be a fun way to raise money for the animals of Anti-Cruelty.
Ideas For Your Bake Sale
- Select a location to hold your bake sale. It could be your school, community center, church, synagogue, or local store. Be sure to ask the location for permission to host the bake sale!
- Get those creative juices flowing by making colorful, eye-catching posters and flyers to distribute around your community. Be sure to put on your posters when and where your bake sale will be held.
- Bake your favorite treats, individually package them and decide how much to charge for them.
- If your customers don’t have cash on hand, please direct them to anticruelty.org to make a donation right from their mobile device!
- Talk to family and friends about donating some treats to your bake sale.
- Make sure to track your service hours using any forms from your school.
- Be sure to keep copies of your flyers and take pictures during your project: you’ll need these for credit!
