All of the joy, None of the calories!

Our first fundraiser is almost ready .  We have to finalize a few things on the money end, but hopefully by this time next week we will be ready to host a virtual bake sale in as many locations as possible.  Sound confusing?  It's not!  It's quite simple actually.  There will be an order form describing each of the items for sale:  chocolate chip, peanut butter, and sugar cookies; a variety of muffins, brownies, etc.  You the buyer decide which items you would like to purchase.  Then, instead of eating up the goods, the food is homemade and freshly delivered to a worthy cause - the Wounded Warriors at Walter Reed, Sarah's House (an emergency homeless shelter for families), a deployed soldier living overseas, and more.  You even have the choice of sending much needed preemie sized diapers to Maria's Big House of Hope all the way in China.  What could be better than that?  All the joy of really shopping with none of the calories of a real bake sale.  Watch here, on facebook and email for official buying power.  In the meantime, if you are interested in helping us out just let me know.  All the baking and delivering will be done on our end so volunteering is really rather easy.  All you have to do is be willing it take an order form, share about our story and keep track of your orders.  So, until then, I'll get back to organizing.  Love you all and thanks for reading my happy little blog.  :)

  1. Hi Deb,
    Just a quick one to let you know that i am reading! Also, God is a little mysterious...we were out shopping the other day and I found some money on the ground. After waiting 20 minutes to see if someone was "looking for something" I left and later realised it is the exact amount we need to make the next step. Hmmm...coincidence? I think not! Merryn
