Some items you can bring: Homemade goodies and snacks. 

  • We really want to send a box of mostly homemade stuff and since our numbers are fairly small (15 or so) we all agreed to make something homemade and ask our distribution volunteers to do the same.  
  • NOTE THE RECIPES POSTED on the  RECIPES tab., including:
    • -- chex/snack mix
    • -- Pumpkin Bread
    • -- rice crispy bars
    • -- Sugared Almond Crunch
    • -- BARS: chocolate/oats/nuts/caramel (a favorite: Magic Cookie Bars)
    • -- Cookies of any kind
