Muffin Day raises awareness about hunger and homelessness. Originally, Muffin Day was another superfluous food holiday created on the internet without sponsors, purpose, or reason.
Enter attorney Jacob Kaufman, the "muffin man of San Francisco."
Kaufman regularly distributed fresh muffins to the city's homeless on his way to work each morning. In 2015, he saw a chance to take a useless day, Muffin Day, and make it mean something. Reaching out to his colleague, Julia Levy of Atlanta, the two created a community-focused initiative centering on muffins in their cities.
Volunteers, or muffineers, purchase muffins to raise money for homelessness and then give these muffins to the homeless to address hunger—two objectives accomplished with one muffin? Now, that is an impressive quick bread!
Kaufman's muffineering inspired others worldwide to do the same in their cities.
The event moved from its fixed date of February 20 to a weekend nearest that date, thus allowing muffineers to take part in "spreading the muffin" over weekends globally.
Are you interested in becoming a muffineer or creating a Muffin Day drive in your city? If muffins aren't your culture's thing, try donuts, croissants, or breakfast strudels. The principle is the same with something to sell that becomes something to eat. See https://nationalmuffinday.org for information.
