Title pretty much says it all. I want to plan a fundraiser for the youth of our church that will help towards summer 2011 trips. Fundraiser will be held in November (near Thanksgiving) so offerings would include whole pies and cakes as well as individual slices.
Would you buy baked goods from such a fundraiser? (FYI: We'll be in front of Walmart and/or grocery store).
I would totally eat baked goods from a bake sale. I haven't gotten sick yet from the various goods I've bought over the years. Sure, you have no idea what the baker's hygiene or kitchen is like, but I like to put a little trust in society here and there.
Definitely keep a donation jar out in the open on your table though.
Baked goods may not always be as delectable as you think they're going to be when you buy them, but they are relatively harmless. I'll never understand the paranoia ...
Good luck with your fundraiser. And don't forget to set up a table at your church after services!
Hmm... I think that all would depend on the appearance of the food, the display, and the people selling it.
I don't mind to buy store sealed goods, and I would definitely donate for a good cause.
I have bought homemade things in the past. They have been pretty good. But it depends on the price and the quality but I'd be inclined too for charity.
I have bought homemade baked goods at church events, especially chocolate chip cookies. Make sure that you discuss the importance of having clean hands and not touching food when handling money. Definitely have a donation jar; you will probably get more money that way. Good luck!

Yep! Here's a thread which pretty well covered this subject!
We have found that a lot of grocery stores wont let you fundraise for baked goods in front of their store b/c it takes away from their baked goods. Walmart may be different though. You may also want to include some baked goodies for dogs and cats, even though it's a church event, you'd be surprised how many people are interested in treats for their furry pals. At the church a family member attends, they sell home-made soups packaged in plastic containers which may be a good seller in the cold winter months.
