What We Did:
Made 150 whole-wheat/oatmeal/chocolate chip cookies for a local soup kitchen.
Three hours total. Making/rolling dough: 1.5 hours. Bake time: 1.5 hrs.
How Much it Cost:
Between fifteen and twenty dollars.
Would We Do It Again?
Yes.
Next Time:
- Write down all multiplied ingredients before mixing. (We quintupled our recipe, so it got a little mathy.)
- Find a bigger mixing bowl or make smaller batches.
- Feed the kids something healthy before beginning.
Go to http://www.feedingamerica.org/ and enter your zip code in the locator section. That will give you info on the food bank closest to you. Contact the food bank and ask about partner agencies in your area and if any have soup kitchens. A food bank is like a central supply place where most food help places get food to give away.
