Along with most of the country, and I’m sure many of you, I’ve been haunted by the images and videos coming from the tragedy in Haiti. Today, I watched a video of a little 11 year old girl who was pinned down in some rubble for two days. I’d like to say after they freed her from whatever had her stuck that she made it to a hospital and survived but, tragically, she did not. I saw video of her alive, being given water to drink, re-adjusting her glasses, and it’s hard to grasp that she didn’t make it. The photos, videos, and stories from Haiti move me to tears, and I’ve felt nothing but helpless sitting at home, taking it all in.
But, I’ve decided that it’s time to do something to help…
Inspired by this vegan bake sale taking place in NYC by Super Vegan, I am hosting an online bake sale to raise money for Haiti. I haven’t figured out where to donate the money just yet, but it will be donated to a solid organization that I feel will use the money responsibly. After much research and thought, I've decided to donate the money raised from the bake sale to the American Red Cross Haiti Relief and Development Fund. The Red Cross is a widely respected charity and one that I've personally volunteered for in the past.
Bake Sale Details:
- This bake sale will be online, so you don’t have to be local to bid.
- Shipping will be for US and Canada (bakers will indicate where they are willing to ship to).
- I’ll be posting bakers and what they’re donating as I receive them (trying to have the list complete the day before the bake sale).
- The bidding on the bake sale will take place Wednesday, January 27th, 2010 all day – from 12:01 am till 11:59pm ET.
- Bids will be accepted via comments and email, but I will have a separate bidding page ready for the actual bidding day.
- All money raised from the bake sale will be donated to the American Red Cross Haiti Relief and Development Fund.
Looking for Bakers, please!
Please email me at thechiclife at gmail dot com if you’re interested in donating something to the bake sale. I’ll accept bakers up till the day of the bake sale – Wednesday, January 27th, 2010. I'm now accepting bakers until Sunday, January 24th. Sorry to move the date up, but thanks to the amazing outpouring of support from the blogosphere, I have so many wonderful bakers that I think I need a couple extra days prior to the sale to get ready. :)
Bakers, please email me the following:
- What you’re baking (if you want to submit more than one item, please indicate if you want 1 bidder to win all goodies or if you prefer 1 bidder per goodie).
- You can bake whatever you want, but please tell me if what you’re baking is gluten-free or vegan.
- Where you’re willing to ship to (US only, Canada only, or US and Canada).
No longer accepting bakers, but thanks for your interest! We will however need a TON of bidders! Please check back on Wednesday to bid. :)
NOTE: If you have emailed me but do not see your name/info here, please email me asap at thechiclife at gmail dot com. If you do see your info, please take a look to make sure it's correct and complete. Thanks!

I'll get this list in a format easier to read, but wanted to go ahead and post up some bakers with their items others can decide what to bake. Please email me at thechiclife at gmail dot com if you're interested in joining us. We'd love to have you!

We Can Do It!
I may not be able to go to Haiti to help, and I may not have a zillion dollars to help, but I can do something. I have to believe that everything little bit helps. I believe that our community of bloggers and readers can help together.
Please consider donating something for this bake sale and/or bidding. I truly believe every effort goes to the greater good and that we can make a difference.
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
~Margaret Mead
I just came across this on SavvyEat and wanted to do my part to help! My mother in law makes AMAZING granola bars and she just revealed the recipe to me the other day. They're not GF or vegan, but they are totally, 100% delicious. I'll ship to the US and Canada!
So happy to give to this good cause and help a fellow blogger do something wonderful!
