Recipe for Hope Instruction

Setting up your bake sale should be a lot of fun. Here’s what you will need:

1 table and 1-2 chairs
Variety of baked goods (i.e., cookies, brownies, cupcakes)
- Especially good to also offer a nut free option like marshmallow krispy treats
Sign telling customers you are offering baked goods for a donation.
Copy of Children’s Hope Chest brochure (will come in kit with your t-Shirt)

Additional suggestions

Offer beverages with baked goods (i.e., bottled water, lemonade, Gatorade, etc). Don’t forget cups and napkins!
Use a yellow plastic tablecloth for table. The brighter the yellow the better to attract customers
Have an envelope or cash box to collect money (have an adult be in charge of holding all of the cash)
Be able to make change of at least $20 (have singles and $5 bills available)
Keep ingredients for all baked goods in case someone has allergies
Read the Children’s Hope Chest brochure and/or review the website before the bake sale to make sure you know all that we do
Develop a rain plan. Set up bake sale in front of movie theatre, library, bookstore, bowling alley, etc. If cold, possibly offer hot chocolate or coffee
Make sure you smile and talk to everyone!!!!!
