Deadline: 2/22/15

Contributions will go directly to providing the essentials to babies in the region for the 2015 winter. Why is this important?
Since 2011, Syria has been in turmoil. The civil war has resulted in over 200,000 deaths, approximately three million refugees, and around six and a half million internally displaced people.

Bake Sales for Babies zeroes in on specific, solvable problems within the larger conflict and provides young Americans a simple way to engage and impact the issue.
