May 1, 2008, Summerville, SC. – The Great American Bake Sale will be held on Saturday May 10 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Summerville Farmer’s Market.
Residents, visitors and regular patrons of the Summerville Farmer’s Market are encouraged to buy dessert in time for Mother’s Day and help low income families get meals for their children. The Great American Bake Sale, benefiting Share our Strength, helps raise funds for organizations in communities across America to help provide at-risk children with nutritious meals when they are needed most – during the summer, and after school. Additionally, proceeds support Share our Strength’s Operation Frontline, a chef-led nutrition education program for low-income children and families.
The bake sale is sponsored by the Summerville Farmer’s Market vendors, local merchants and the Department of Agriculture. Managed by Walter and Barbara Limehouse, the Summerville Farmer’s Market is located on West Doty Street between Cedar and Main Streets and is open Saturdays until Nov. 22 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
