Cupcakes For Change: Join The Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale

From the Girlie Girl Army blog, we get news of the Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale. *Every day is Earth Day when you are vegan!* It’s time for the third annual Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale (WVBS): April 23 through May 1!  Last year, WVBS participants on six continents raised over $40,00 for a variety of worthy causes. Help make this year even more successful. Participating groups can do whatever they want with their proceeds! Here are a few bake sale pointers you might want to know right off the bat if you’re not an experienced bake saler:

• Secure your venue. Possible locations include shopping centers, strip malls, pet supply stores, community centers, public squares, and theatres or sports arenas before or during an event. School groups and religious groups may want to hold the event in their respective schools and places of worship. Farmers markets, craft fairs, and festivals are other possible places for a vegan bake sale, although you often have to register early. Also, any vegan-oriented store will probably be receptive (if not wildly enthusiastic) about a vegan bake sale at or near their business.
• You need to get all the necessary permissions for holding a bake sale at your desired location. This can range from almost nothing to dealing with multiple levels of officials and obscure regulations. For shopping centers and strip malls, you may need permission from the owner of the property, not just store management. Health ordinances vary from place to place, and sometimes a city code will override a state code. But the good news is that in most instances, bake sales are easy to set up, in terms of legalities and permits.
• The bigger and busier the venue, the earlier you may need to reserve it. For best results, start those phone calls soon.
