ABOUT
SPREAD THE SWEETNESS
WHAT: The Great Minnesota Bake Sale
WHEN: June 23 – 29, 2024
WHERE: At participating “Bake Sale” locations throughout the Twin Cities Metro
HOW: Starting in early-June, Open Arms will launch an extensive marketing campaign alongside our partners and will encourage the entire community to support our bake sale participants.
WHY: To provide nourishing, medically tailored meals to our neighbors facing life-threatening and critical illnesses.
Since the beginning of time (and beyond being a basic human need), people have used food to foster a sense of community, as well as raise money for important causes. The tradition of bake sales can still be found in church basements, school gyms, and town halls around Minnesota. Staying true to our Midwestern heritage, we’re putting a new spin on this time-honored tradition…The Great Minnesota Bake Sale!
The Great Minnesota Bake Sale is a campaign where a community of partners host a week-long “bake sale” to raise much-needed funds for the life-saving work of Open Arms of Minnesota. By sharing resources and talents, together we can raise awareness for the mission of Open Arms and spotlight the generous culinary community that actively supports our food as medicine initiatives.
Who are the Bake Sale Partners?
The network of bakeries, coffee shops, retailers, online partners, and sponsors that will “host a bake sale” on behalf of Open Arms of Minnesota make up our team of Bake Sale Partners. If you sell cookbooks or baking pans, you too can be a bake sale partner. “Baking” on behalf of Open Arms can happen in a variety of ways… the more bakers, the greater our collective impact!
