For the 26th year, the nonprofit organization known as The Christmas People will be accepting homemade cookies during Christmas week, with a dropoff spot in West Seattle. Here’s the announcement they asked us to share with you:

This will be my third year baking. Such a fun way to give to others.

If you’re wondering, cookies are delivered with lunch and dinner on the 24th and 25th to all of the shelters that the Christmas People support. Last year we had enough boxes to drop some off to the WS cold shelter and the tiny villages in WS and Georgetown. Thank you bakers!

My kids and I are planning to bake some cookies, but we are wondering how many we should plan to bake and how to bag them up? All in one big bag, divided by a dozen into smaller bags? Any advice is welcome. I also see that the drop off date for Saturday is crossed off; are cookies no longer being accepted on that day? Thank you!April
