Thankful Thursday

As I was checking up on all of my favorite blogs, I found this on my cousin Shannon's blog. It is fitting that it comes on Thankful Thursday so...today I am thankful that our family has enough to eat and we have never had to go hungry. We have definitely had our financial struggles but thankfully we have always had enough to feed our children. What a blessing that has been. I am encouraging all of you to join me in supporting this cause however you are able. I'm going to enlist the help of my kids in making and donating some caramel apples and cupcakes! I think this is a great way to teach them to give to those who don't have the same blessings they do.
The Great American Bake Sale...
Did you know that one in six kids in America and one in ten kids here in Utah are at risk for hunger? A Bake Sale is being hosted as part of “The Great American Bake Sale” in the parking Lot of American Liberty Insurance Company (3601 North University Ave. Provo, UT... just south of Will’s Pit Stop)
Saturday, April 25th, from 11am – 3pm.
How you can help – You can help in the fight to end childhood hunger by donating baked goods, by coming and buying or BOTH!100% of the funds go to fighting childhood hunger and proceeds raised at our bake sale stay local. If you are interested in donating baked goods please email Shannon at schild75@hotmail.com and let her know what you will be baking. All goods will need to be dropped off the morning of the bake sale by 10:30 am. Also you can help us by getting the word out.
