World Wide Vegan Bake Sale
This entry was posted on Thursday, June 11th, 2009
Some say that vegan baked goods are the way to an omnivore’s heart - while not everyone is keen on lentils and quinoa most people would be hard pressed to say no to a slice of decadent chocolate cake or a peanut butter cookie! And offering one to friends and family is a great way to go about letting people know that veganism is not a restrictive diet, but rather one where you can enjoy pretty much any tasty treat that you could as an omnivore.
In recognising this fact the folk at Compassion For Animals have come up with a brilliant idea. Simply put: vegan bake sales. And lots of them! All over the globe in fact.
From June the 20th until the 28th different groups worldwide will be holding vegan bake sales. Baking up a storm and then taking their cakes, cookies and muffins to the streets to raise funds for the cause or charity of their choice. What better way to let people know more about veganism!
So far there are participants from Auckland to Copenhagen and everywhere in between. Check out the participants page to see if there’s a bake sale near you. If not why not get baking and hold one yourself or with a group of friends? There are plenty of helpful resources at the link below to help first time bake stall holders get organised and still a few weeks to plan and promote your event.
I will be holding a vegan bake sale in London (details coming soon!) along with a few volunteers so would love to hear from you if you’re interested in helping out or donating baked goods. Just send me a quick email at sarahATtheveganmentorDOTcom or leave a comment.
