Fourteen year old
Jackie Price of
Rockville, Maryland,
is a young girl who
knows the meaning
of doing something
sweet for others. In
2008
, she saw an
ad for Share Our
Strength's Great
American Bake Sale®
and knew she
wanted to be a
part of it. "I was so
motivated to host
my bake sale once
I found out that
more than 12 million
children are at risk of
hunger in America," she said. "I absolutely love to
bake, and this seemed like the perfect way to do what I
love and help others at the same time. I knew if I hosted
my own bake sale, I would be doing my part to help
end childhood hunger, and I was so proud of that."
The Great Rockville Bake Sale was held at a two day
event celebrating Memorial Day called
Rockville's
Hometown Holidays
in downtown Rockville, Maryland.
Jackie's booth was decorated in patriotic streamers,
flags and ribbons. Even her baked goods were patriotic;
especially her red, white, and blue cookies on a stick.
She won the nonprofit booth decoration contest, and
her reward was a
$500
grant from the city for her
nonprofit organization! This prize brought Jackie's
fundraising total to $
1
,
723
! "I am so excited that all
the money I raised went to help other children.
I have been so blessed to have access to
healthy food, as many other children don't, so I am very
glad I could do something to help them out."
