HOLIDAY GIVING: Baking cookies? Add extras for The Christmas People

| Holidays | How to help | West Seattle news

Many opportunities to give this holiday season – but usually just one asking for homemade Christmas cookies! The Christmas People just sent the announcement asking for cookies again this year; we’re sharing it so bakers can plan ahead:

The Christmas People are once again asking for home-baked cookies for distribution to homeless and other marginalized people in our midst.

Home baked cookies may be brought to West Seattle Coworking, 9030 35th Ave SW, Friday, Dec. 22 and Saturday, Dec. 23 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 24 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Cookies may also be dropped off at Artisan Community Kitchen, 10836 E. Marginal Way, S, Tukwila 98168 during the same hours as above.

The Christmas People also need volunteers for food prep and delivery to shelters. Contact Rev. Fred Hutchinson, cofounder, at 206-719-4979 or pialley@jps.net.

Here’s an explanation of what The Christmas People are all about.

I love baking cookies and cannot possibly eat them all. Last year I brought some to the Christmas People who were so friendly. This is a great way to share holiday cheer! I’ll definitely bring some by again this year.

Agree! This is an amazing organization and easy way to help out!

Let’s hope we don’t have an ice storm like last year…barely got our cookies dropped off in time!

Here’s ours! Tibbetts & friends had great fun with two cookie drives and dropped off 600+ cookies on Friday!

Thanks for the photo! I’m going to add that to today’s story – we somehow never manage to get enough photos of the donations!

  Do you still need volunteer for being at Cookie Collector on Dec 24 from 1 – 4pm at co work on 35th ? I’d be glad to do that shift
