Donations Sought for Rochester's Great American Bake Sale

Charitable bake sale is Aug. 17 in downtown Rochester.

Rochester-area bakers will share their best baked goods with the community while raising money for charity at this summer's Great American Bake Sale, but donations are needed to help make it happen.

The third annual Great American Bake Sale, which runs 8 a.m.-noon on Aug. 17 in the upper lot of the Downtown Rochester Farmers' Market, will raise funds for the Rochester Regional Service Collaboration, which benefits Blessings in a Backpack, Community Kitchen and the Rochester Area Neighborhood House.

“More than 17 million kids in America are at risk of hunger,” said Stephanie Hellebuyck, events coordinator of the Rochester Downtown Development Authority.  “Some of these kids live right in our community, so it’s important to support the wonderful organizations that help them.” 

Those interested in donating baked goods to Rochester’s Great American Bake Sale can do so on the Rochester DDA website
