bake sales
Sweets for charity
Bake sales are fundraising events where homemade goods—cookies, brownies, cakes, pies—are sold, typically by schools, churches, or community organizations.
The appeal lies in the combination of low overhead, volunteer labor, and the draw of home baking: The PTA raised three hundred dollars at the bake sale.
The term evokes wholesome, small-scale American fundraising.
