Bake Bread – Give Dough – Feed Africa!

The Worldwide Blogger Bake Off launched on October 15, 2008 with the aim of raising $1 million dollars for hunger relief in Africa.

The Bake Off is the idea of Breadline Africa. The money raised will be used to support grass roots community projects aimed at ending poverty and hunger in Africa. Breadline Africa will be placing container kitchens, vegetable gardens and more in poor communities, as well as sending emergency food relief to places where it is needed and helping poor communities to help themselves.
