Home baking is a special addition in the Christmas hampers. We hope to include one dozen cookies or squares to each hamper. That means we need 400 packaged dozens of cookies or bars. If you would like to help, please let us know and please include how many dozens you are able to donate. This is a great activity for community groups or families!
We hope that you can join us for some of these activities! It is so much fun and it really means a lot to those who
will receive these blessings.
