bakesale

Charity brownie table

A bakesale is a fundraising event where homemade baked goods—cookies, brownies, cakes, pies—are sold, typically by schools, churches, or community organizations to raise money for a cause.

The appeal lies in the combination of affordable treats and direct community support.

The PTA held a bakesale to fund new playground equipment.

The term is sometimes spelled as two words: bake sale.
