Update to this post, October 8, 2012

If you are baking cookies: no need to wrap them in pretty containers! We are doing that part for you. Bring your cookies to us in something we can throw away (ex: aluminum lined box lid) or a baking dish with your name on it so we can return it to you. We want all cookies packaged the same and will be supplying the containers to do so. Drop off your homemade baked cookies December 15th from 9-11am at our home church, The Church at Schilling Farms, 1035 Winchester Road, Collierville, TN.

If you are selling cookies: Thank you!! And, please be sure to turn in your preorders to us by December 2. Earlier would be helpful but no later than December 2.

If you want to purchase cookies: The assorted homemade cookies will make great gifts and are a great way for you to give back to a community in need at the same time. We suggest a donation of $10 per container of a dozen plus assorted mystery cookies, but of course all donation amounts are accepted. Please pay at the time of your order. Contact Erica Stubblefield at erica@ashasrefuge.org, Jamie Koch at jamie@ashasrefuge.org or Deborah Eaton at deborah@ashasrefuge.org to place your order. Sorry, our cookies may have nut products and are not suitable for those watching their diets such as gluten intake.

Get ready to search Pintrest or find your favorite cookie or candy recipe to bake for our upcoming cookie exchange. We need people to sign up to bake several dozen of the same kind of cookie. Then, on a designated date and time (to be announced), we will ask you to drop off your cookies and we will all exchange them and pack them in cookie containers to create a delicious holiday homemade variety. We will then sell them. These cookies will make great gifts. Be sure to make copies of your recipe for us to share with others. Preorders are welcome and encouraged. All monies collected will support Memphis area refugees through Asha’s Refuge.

We need volunteers to help organize the cookie exchange, bake cookies, sell cookies and help work on the day of the exchange. Please let us know if you are interested in participating in this project in any way.
