Cookies for a Cause – Plus Holiday Breads!

It’s our 6th annual Cookie’s for a Cause Fundraiser!  This fundraiser is like a giant cookie exchange and provides an opportunity for our community to get involved and give back to help us meet our annual budget.  Our goal is $5,000 this year which we believe we can make happen especially with your help.

Saturday, December 9 – Asha’s Refuge needs donations of homemade cookies and goodies, including bar cookies, brownies and candies like buckeyes, bonbons, fudge, etc. The cookies will be packed as an assortment (about 14 items) in an attractive gift box along with information about Asha’s Refuge and sold as part of our yearly fundraising event for a $12 donation.

Willing to Bake Cookies?  On Saturday, December 9, all homemade baked cookies should be dropped off between 9-11am at Highpoint Church at 1035 Winchester Road, Collierville, TN. We ask that everything be brought in disposable containers and already cut if they are bar cookies. We will literally need around 4,500 homemade cookies to fill 300 boxes and bags!

Not a good baker?  We also need people willing to sort and pack the cookies. Packing begins at 9am and ends around 1pm (including cleanup). Can’t stay all day…give what time you can.  (Meet us December 9th at 9:00 am at Highpoint Church in Collierville at 1035 Winchester Blvd. to help.)

Prefer Breads over Cookies?  This year we are adding baked breads to our offerings. So if you like baking bread of any kind, won’t you please share some loaves with us? Baked and already decoratively wrapped breads can be turned in to us December 8th if you contact deborah@ashasrefuge.org or jamie@ashasrefuge.org ahead of time or just drop them off December 9th to Highpoint Church in Collierville along with cookies from 9:30 to 11am.

Want to Pre-Order?  Our cookies are always a mystery to us as to what kind they will be.  We kinda like the mystery of it all and are always grateful, surprised and very blessed with some great bakers to help us with this annual event.  You can pre-order your box of “mystery cookies” by contacting us at claire@ashasrefuge.org.  For preordering the breads, we know we will have: Pumpkin Bread, Banana Nut Bread, Banana Chocolate Chip Bread, Banana Bread (no nuts), Lemon Loafs, Blueberry Loaf and Cranberry/Orange Bread.  They will come in two sizes: standard loaf pan size (6-8 slices) or a small one for about 3-4 people.  Suggested donations for standard size is $10 and for smaller size is $6.  Please pre-order breads by contacting claire@ashasrefuge.org.

Want to Purchase a Box of Cookies for a Refuge Family?  Help us give a refugee family a sweet treat this year!  A lot of the families (especially the children) we serve love American cookies. (We’ve even spent some time teaching some of the ladies how to make them.)  If you would like to help us provide a refugee family with holiday cookies and give us another opportunity to visit them and share the love and hope message of Jesus with them, you can easily add this to gift to your purchase.

Want to Donate but are not interested in making a purchase?  We understand that sweets are not for everyone.  If you have a heart to give to support our cause there is still a way to do so.  Click on the link below to simply donate.
