The Spoon Initiative
A student bake sale club

One spoon.
One tray.
Somebody fed.

We bake at home, sell at school, and hand every dollar to a local organization serving people experiencing homelessness. No overhead, no cut, no exceptions.

Three steps, one afternoon

It really is this small. That's the point — a club of students can run the whole thing between last period and dinner.

1

We bake

Members sign up for a tray. Cookies, brownies, banana bread — whatever your kitchen does well.

label anything with nuts!
2

We sell

One folding table by the front doors. Everything is priced so a kid with pocket change can buy something.

$1 – $3 each
3

We give it away

The full box total goes to one local organization, chosen by the club each term. We post the amount every time.

100% — every crumb of it

Where the money actually goes

We don't keep a cent. Ingredients are donated by families, the table is free, and the website costs about as much as a tray of brownies.

Each term the club picks one organization near us that works directly with people experiencing homelessness — meals, shelter beds, hygiene kits — and we hand over the whole total in person.
