We are collecting home-baked, gooey circles of goodness for our inmates and officers as a small way of sharing the love of Christ in the corrections facilities we serve. Please drop off your cookie donations in the Michigan Avenue lobby by 4:00 PM on Wednesday, 12/17 and see below for additional cookie-packing details. If you have questions, please contact Emily Seger at 570-406-3322.
Cookie Baking/Packing Instructions and Suggestions:
1. Baking and Packing Instructions
- Cookies should be approximately 2-3” in diameter for packing purposes
- Allow cookies to dry completely before packing and delivering
- Pack cookies flat, in a protective box with wax paper or cardboard between layers
- Do not put cookies in plastic bags
- Tins and containers cannot be stored or returned (please do not send us valuable containers you would like to receive back).
2. The following cookies have been met with great success:
- Sugar cookies with sprinkles, decorated cut sugar cookies, colored M&Ms, chocolate chip, frosted cookies, oatmeal with raisins or craisins, etc.
- Peanut butter, pecan, macadamia nut, etc. are approved since we cannot guarantee any cookies are food-allergy safe
- Please avoid baking anything that could create jealousy between inmates (candy, fudge, etc.).
