Jefferson Street, 801-328-8138, theblendedtable.com) recently announced a bake sale to raise funds for the Asian Association of Utah (aau-slc.org) and OCA Utah (ocanational.org). We ve seen local bake sales work wonders for nonprofits dedicated to helping marginalized communities and seeing this pop up on the ol social media feed is a welcome dose of positivity. The event takes place on April 24 at Blended Table from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., or whenever the event sells out. Pastries and baked goods have been donated by several local bakeries, and all proceed will benefit the AAU and OCA. If you re looking for a place to contribute to a good cause while enjoying some local baked goods, we ll see you there.
