Never heard of Austin Bakes? #AustinBakes4Haiti
It’s a local organization that started in 2011 after the Tōhoku, Japan earthquake when news was spreading of a national bake sale movement to benefit Japan. Since the first bake sale for Japan in 2011, Austin Bakes has since raised $50,000 for humanitarian aid selling baked goods for a cause.
The bake sales occur most often following a natural disaster and all proceeds benefit the current cause at hand. All baked goods are made locally and donated by Austin bloggers, businesses, bakeries, home bakers, and foodies throughout the city. Those manning the bake sales are volunteers and all supplies are donated by organizers & those volunteering during the event.
Previous bake sales have benefitted
- AmeriCares for Syrian refugees
- FirstGiving for Nepal
- Austin Community Foundation for the Capital Area / Bastrop
- AmeriCares for West
- Austin Disaster Relief Network for Austin
