Thank you to those who attended our annual Cookie Party at Geraldine's Counter! We decorated cookies baked by The Leeky Fig and Anita Dias-Stiansen, who frequently bakes bread for the food bank with Community Loaves, with sweet frosting from Cupcake Royale and sprinkles galore!
The proceeds from Cookie Party will support our food bank and its vision for a hunger-free South Seattle. Did you miss the Cookie Party and are still looking for a way to join in on the fun? Stop by Geraldine's Counter now through the end of the year to support their annual fundraiser for the food bank.
