BAKE SALE DONATIONS NEEDED: We are so grateful for the many goodies you and your families have supplied over the years for our Spaghetti Dinner Bake Sale. We know that we can count on you again to help us raise more funds at this booth! We always have such a nice variety of baked goods, so any of your specialties will be appreciated. If you don’t bake, we’ll accept goodie bags of candy or feel free to solicit donations from your favorite bakery!
As always, we will be happy to package and price the items on the day of the sale. They will be accepted throughout the day. If you have large quantities, it is best to receive these early in the day. Please mark your containers so we can return them to you. Also, please indicate what flavor the item is if it is not evident. If you cannot attend the dinner but wish to donate to the bake sale, you can arrange to have your items picked up. Please contact Teri Ehrenhardt at 309.645.5690 to arrange for pick up. Some years we’ve been sold out before the end of the dinner. Please help keep us supplied throughout the day. Gluten free items and goodies for diabetics are appreciated as well (Chex Mix, Trail Mix, etc.).
