Project Nourish Cookie Initiative - Calling all cookie bakers!
Did you know that Project Nourish continues all through the summer months? Especially for the months of May through September, Project Nourish needs home baked cookies to include in our lunches. These provide a little touch of TLC to the lunches we make for about 350 people each month.
If you can help, we would appreciate nut-free home baked cookies that you can bake any time and bring to the kitchen freezer or to Dani in the office. Please package them two to a bag so we can just drop them in the lunches. If you can't, we can package them on Project Nourish day. Please mark the outer bag containing the cookie packages "Project Nourish" so it is easily identifiable.
Any amount you can bake will be appreciated. The summer Project Nourish dates are June 23, July 28, August 25, and September 22 so you can start baking any time!
Thank you, bakers!
