It’s that time of year again when dessert lovers converge on Mid-Ohio Foodbank to bid, silently and noisily, on the many delectable offerings made by some of Columbus’ best artisan bakers. All the proceeds of those bids go into the foodbank’s coffers to provide meals for our fellow citizens who need assistance with putting food on their tables – a worthy, worthy cause indeed. What’s more important than eating? Not much. We can sometimes take for granted how easily a meal is gained by most of us, but in a tough economy it pays to help those who don’t have it as easy. The last I’d heard, the amount of money raised in the Cakes for a Cause auctions this year was enough to provide over 22,000 meals. 22,000 meals. That’s the difference between having a warm dinner and going to bed hungry for over 60 people per day, every day for an entire year. Just for buying some cake. Next year, make a plan to attend. Cakes for a Cause is held in the week before Easter so you’ll have more than ample reason to load up on treats. Don’t miss it.
