Thanks for donating homemade cookies on Dec. 6 for Dec. 7!
As is tradition, Guild members are looking for cookie bakers to share their favorite homemade holiday cookies to sell at the cookie walk. Quantities of 5-6 dozen homemade holiday-themed cookies are requested to be delivered to the St. Patrick’s Volunteer Office in disposable containers/trays between the hours of 8:30AM-7PM, Fri., Dec. 6.
“It’s a wonderful family or group project,” said Jill Whitledge, Volunteer Coordinator for St. Patrick’s.
Longtime cookie baking donors have discovered baking delicious cookie recipes for the walk is a wonderful group project for friends and neighbors; perfect for scout troops, teen organizations, church clubs, etc., that want a fun and creative way to give back during the holiday season.
