Its past time to give back to those in need. I have been trying to teach the kids that there are others who need help and that not everyone gets those fruit snacks or endless access to food like they do. So we teamed up with the Domino Sugar Great American Bake Sale to hold our own little bake sale.
We gathered up our sugar and flour, butter and eggs and got to mixing. We made some awesome sugar cookies and then spiced things up with some chocolate chip cookies. The kids had a blast mixing the ingredients and rolling out balls of dough. We had planned on working with some other ladies and children from our mom’s group. However they were blessed with a new addition to their family.
We then placed our cookies in baggies and placed a Share Our Strength label on them and set up shop. We sold quite a few cookies and received a few donations in order to bring our total to $100. We did have a ton of cookies left over. In the spirit of Share Our Strength, we contacted the local woman’s shelter and dropped the left over cookies to them. They were able to have some cookies for dessert with dinner that night and then froze a whole bunch to portion out over the next few weeks.
