This week, Yardi Systems’ Santa Barbara office held a bake sale with a fabulous variety of treats – from red velvet cupcakes to toffee-crunch chocolate cookies to parfaits to peanut butter buckeyes – all to benefit Share Our Strength’s Great American Bake Sale, which raises money to prevent child hunger.

With 1 in 5 kids in America struggling with hunger, the folks at Share Our Strength came up with a cool and creative way to raise funds. Their efforts to get feeding opportunities into schools and youth recreation programs have been successful and the cause is one that millions of Americans support via the bake sales and fundraisers.

The Santa Barbara office includes dozens of very talented bakers, who pulled out all the stops to create beautiful edible treats. Just as in the recent Pi(e) Day challenge, the results were better than dessert at any nearby bakery.

The Bake Sale raised $578 for Share Our Strength, and the funds were matched by Yardi with all proceeds going directly to this important cause. Check out the photos of some of the delicious creations that were available at the bake sale.
