Raising some Dough
Raise some dough
Our young people having a great time in the kitchen learning to bake cookies and selling them to raise money for Mary's meals.
9 young people are making cookies throughout May to fundraise to buy meals for children in 18 of the poorest countries in the world through the Mary’s meals feeding programme - helping children on the ladder out of poverty by providing one meal a day within schools.
Cookies are a minimum donation of 50pence and by buying just one you will feed 5 children a school meal or alternatively feed 1 child for 5 days! Imagine if you bought 2!
Donations of flour, eggs, caster sugar, butter are welcome….thankyou to the individuals who have already donated and to Morrisons Helensburgh for their donation shown in photo below.
We will be selling cookies at Centre 81 events , our car boot sale on the 21st and to family and friends. We are also taking pre+orders, so if you want one or think you could treat your colleagues or anyone else, pm this page or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. - our target is for our 9 young people to feed 9 children for a full year (raise £180) - what an achievement that would be!
Next week we are making chocolate chip cookie and cherry cookies. Following week lemon cookies and white chocolate chip….we have a wee disclaimer….we had a test run…..your cookie may taste like a biscuit 
but it’s all about the effort! We will be pro’s soon!
