Once again we have an opportunity to brighten the day and spread some love to those who need a little help. Celebrate Valentine’s Day by offering your favorite recipe and a favorite bag of chocolate candies to those in our community who cannot afford these simple luxuries. Here’s how it works:

1. Provide your favorite recipe for cookies or cake. Include all of the ingredients required to bake and ice your dessert. If your recipe requires eggs please provide a minimum ½ dozen. If it requires butter, please provide at least one full stick (no partial sticks). If it requires oil, please provide a small unopened bottle. If it requires flour, sugar, baking soda, icing, chocolate chips, nuts, toppings etc, please provide unopened containers/bags from the grocery store. A prepared box mix is welcome or something made from scratch. Just be sure that you provide all of the ingredients necessary to prepare and ice your dessert. Simple, fun, easy recipes are preferred.
2. In addition, please include your favorite bag of Valentine’s candy…Hershey Kisses, hearts, etc.
3. Drop off your Sweet Tooth Bag on Saturday, February 13^th at 4313 Lake Avenue between 10am-noon.

Our gifts will be distributed at St Jude’s Food Pantry the week of February 14^th. I am excited to think that the smell of fresh baked cookies or cake will remind our brothers and sisters that they are loved.
