Last week our Christian Fellowship class packed cookies for Truck Stop Ministry in Carlisle, PA. Staff and students donated cookies to be packaged along with an note of encouragement to truck drivers this holiday season. Our club was able to pack and donate over 100 bags!! Read more about the project below:
Christmas cookie project: Each year, between Thanksgiving and Christmas, Carlisle Truck Stop Ministry, Inc. conducts a cookie collection and distribution event. Individuals from local churches and other groups prepare homemade cookies and place 5-6 cookies in decorated bags along with a note, tract or Bible verse. These bags are dropped off at the trailer and then distributed to the local truck stops, trucking depots, restaurants, motels, and businesses to be handed out to drivers, employees and motel guests. Between 13,000 and 15,000 bags of cookies are collected and distributed each year. The purpose is to let truckers and travelers know that we’re thinking of them, that we are here for them, and to provide a ‘taste of home’ while they are on the road. Many drivers have contacted us to say how much they appreciate our thoughts and prayers for them.
