Falls Church Bake Sale

Falls Church, Va.-based animal-rights organization Compassion for Animals, also sponsors of the Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale, hosted a vegan bake sale yesterday to benefit continued relief efforts for Haiti, whose capital, Port-au-Prince, was wracked by a 7.0-magnitude earthquake in January. Volunteer vegan bakers are invited to strut their stuff, and Natalia’s Elegant Creations, a local bakery and café, is providing gluten-free chocolate-peanut-butter bars and cupcakes. Food for Life, the largest food relief organization in the world, will receive all proceeds from Saturday’s bake sale. The event was originally scheduled for February, but heavy snows prevented bakers from convening.
