What You Can Do to Help
The excitement is building as more and more people are offering to get involved! Thanks so much to Jodi from Florida Voices for Animals for featuring the Tampa Vegan Bake Sale in a news alert on their Tampa Area Animal Rights Meetup Group!
Here’s the type of help we need from volunteers:
1. First and foremost, spread the word! Pass out flyers in your area (I will make some available for download, so keep checking back for info), tell your friends…anything you can think of to get the word out.I will also be writing a press release to submit to local media outlets with the hope of boosting turnout.
2. Donate funds. I have added a button here and on the about page that will allow you to make donations through PayPal. Anything you can afford to give would be such a big help in covering the cost of the location, ingredients, materials, and flyers. I am not doing this for profit, so this is isn’t some get rich scheme I’ve assembled. I am trying to get a rough idea of how much this bake sale will cost, paying it upfront, and am still deciding what to do with funds. My intent is to donate proceeds to an animal rights organization in the area. Keep checking back for information on that as well.
3. Get baking! I will be making a ton of baked goods, but if anyone wants to contribute I would love to have a large variety. Contact me about the types of baked goods you would like to contribute, I am open for ideas! I will also be posting more information about wrapping and preparing the food.
4. Contribute your time. I would love for volunteers to join me at the event to spread the word about the sale, sell some goods, and talk to people about the importance of veganism. And selfishly, I would love to meet some like-minded folks who care about the rights of animals and living a life that is cruelty-free!
