Kathy Cole came up with a great idea of baking cookies for Christmas 2020 to give to the Veterans at the Colma Veterans Village. All of a sudden we had 13 volunteers, each baking 5 dozen cookies. After all, we had 65 residents to feed.
Everyone thought baking for others was a good way to focus our energies on Veterans that served our country. As the cookies came in for bagging and boxing, we noticed that there were many more than just 5 dozen. Some volunteers baked closer to 8–10 dozen! Maybe the boxers and baggers could enjoy some cookies as they looked so delicious.
The cookies were delivered and well appreciated. We also put together a small tray for Eric Duncan, the coordinator at the Colma Veterans Village. This possibly will be repeated next year by the Women’s Club as it was so successful. THANK YOU to our volunteers and friends at the Colma Veterans Village.
Cookies on the table for each Colma Veterans Village resident to pickup.
