Vegan Bake Sale: June 20-28
Print This Post
A few people had a clever idea. It’s a three-step process, really:
- Hold a vegan bake sale.
- Raise money for your cause. Promote delicious, cruelty-free food.
- Be part of a fun global event that helps people, animals, and the planet.
That’s right, hold a vegan bake sale. Now that’s grassroots activism right there. Awesome!

What Is the Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale?
On June 20 through June 28 (two weekends and the weekdays in between), groups from across the world will hold vegan bake sales. Each participating group gets to choose its venue, what to sell, and how it uses the proceeds. We invite you to participate! You can hold the bake sale on any day during the period—or on more than one day if you like. Just about anyone can join in. Read on…
WHY participate?
1. It’s a fun way to introduce people to the joy and tastiness of vegan foods.
2. Raise money for your cause.
3. Be part of an event that will publicize the many benefits of an animal-free diet.HOW do you participate?
* Plan to hold a vegan bake sale sometime between June 20 and June 28.
* Let us (and the world) know by using the handy signup form (preferred) or emailing info@veganbakesale.org.
* Hold the bake sale.
* If inclined, please let us know how you did. Send a photo, or a link, whatever you’d like—celebrate and inspire.It’s that simple.
If you want to participate but cannot do so during the “official” time period, get in touch with us—we’ve got you covered. We’re striving to be as inclusive as possible.
There are only two rules:
- Goods sold must be vegan. For baking, most importantly this means no dairy or eggs.
- Don’t sell or distribute anything during the bake sale (books, brochures, etc.) that contributes to the intentional harming of animals.

Very cool idea. People may be interested to learn that VegFund provides funding for the food, serving supplies, literature and any table/booth fees for serving vegan food, preferably at typically or historically non-veg events or to an audience that is not familiar with vegan food or philosophy.

Thanks so much for promoting the bake sale!
Speaking of VegFund (a great organization), they have agreed to consider funding groups that want to participate in the Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale via a “bake sale feed-in,” wherein instead of selling the baked goods, the group gives them away for free at a public place or event with a preedominantly non-vegan crowd, as Matt explained. More info about the VegFund – bake sale tie-in is on the http://www.veganbakesale.org home page, and more info about the VegFund funding process and mission is at the http://www.vegfund.org URL that Matt provided.
