Holiday Celebration
This will also be our Holiday celebration, as it is the last meeting of 2026. We have a few special activities planned for this meeting:
-
A Cookie Swap. A fun way to share homemade treats and discover new favorites!
- Bring one variety of homemade cookies, bars, or holiday treats in a container or on a tray, with enough to share and some for yourself. Couples may participate together or individually.
- Bring copies of your recipe, and include the name of the treat and any common allergens, such as nuts.
- When you arrive, place your treats, label and recipe copies on the Holiday treat table. Before the meeting ends, walk around the table and take some of each item home. We will provide containers or plates.
- We will send a reminder email asking whether you are participating, and whether it is 1 or 2 if you are a couple.

They are not associated with other pantries.
