One of my favorite holiday traditions is delivering cookies to neighbors.
Join me for the third annual Cookies for Community! Let’s fill the Evanston Community Fridges with baking ingredients so our neighbors can create their own holiday memories – baking with their families. 
There are a few ways to participate.
1) Drop Off: Bring unopened non-perishable baking ingredients to one of the drop off locations listed below between Monday 12/2 through Monday, 12/16. We’ll distribute them to the community fridges, enabling neighbors to share special moments baking with their loved ones 💕. Consider buying packaged gluten free, nut free or vegan treats for our neighbors with special dietary needs. Note: we will purchase eggs and butter with donated funds.
2) Donate: Send funds via Venmo @Amy-Landolt-4, PayPal @AmyLandolt or CashApp $AmyGillespieLandolt and I’ll purchase baking supplies on your behalf. You can also contribute directly to the Evanston Community Fridge fund.
3) Organization Participation: Reach out if your business, church, synagogue or organization would like to serve as a drop-off location for non-perishable baking ingredient donations.
Thanks for making the holidays a little sweeter for our neighbors.
