For those who enjoy baking this holiday season, there is a way to give back and support military personnel overseas.
"Cookies With A Cause" is a volunteer-run nonprofit founded by Shannon Top. The organization's annual Big Cookie Drop is in their seventh year, where members of the community are encouraged to drop off boxes of cookies to various locations across West Michigan. This year, there is a goal of collecting 1,500 cookies to be shipped to servicemen and women.
Cookies can be hand made or pre-purchased, as long as they are packaged and labeled what kind of cookies they are. All cookies are to be donated at the following locations on Saturday, December 6:
- Sobie Meats in Walker: 9 A.M. to 2 P.M.
- Putt Putts in Grand Rapids: 11 A.M. to 3 P.M.
