Hi Good Food Funners!One of the main projects we work on with Share Our Strength is the Great American Bake Sale.  As summer is upon us, so are bake sales all across the country that help end childhood hunger!  Kids can host their own bake sales and learn what it's like to do something good for other kids.  Register at www.strength.organd join in the fun!Below are some fantastic bake sale stories we received recently and had to share:

This summer, Food Network and Good Food Gardens are going local!  The Edible Garden is The New York Botanical Garden’s summer-long celebration of growing and eating fresh, locally grown food.

Food Network is supporting our neighbor, the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Center and their annual foodie event, the Garden Party on June 22! Garden Party is the only LGBT tasting event in the country, benefiting and produced by The Center. Join the Center and 2,300 friends and supporters, and over 35 restaurants and food purveyors for an amazing culinary festival the likes of which you've never seen!

“Tastes from the Meatpacking District through Chelsea” brings more than 25 top chefs and samples of their delicacies to the cobblestone paths of Gansevoort Plaza on Saturday, May 30th from 11:30 am to 3 pm in a culinary festival benefitting the New York City Lab School, one of the city’s premier middle- and high-schools serving a combined general ed and special ed group of city students.
