Donation pledges should be emailed to Wrightpattcookies@yahoo.com. Any questions or offers to volunteer to package cookies can also be directed to this email address.
Bakers are asked to label their cookie donations if they contain “no nuts” or “no gluten” so they can be taken to a dedicated table and included in boxes for Airmen with specific allergies.
All donations should be delivered in disposable packaging, said Staff Sgt. Jazmyn Turner, vice president of the Wright-Patterson Enlisted Spouses’ Club and cookie drive chair.
Each Airman receives a box of one dozen cookies, placed on his or her bed by a first sergeant.
First responders from the 88th Security Forces Squadron, the Wright-Patterson Fire Department, emergency room workers at the Wright-Patterson Medical Center and flightline personnel will receive baked goods, too.
The cookie drive is sponsored by the Wright-Patterson Enlisted Spouses’ Club, Wright-Patterson Officers’ Spouses’ Club, First Command Bank, First Sergeants Council, United Service Organization of Central and Southern Ohio and the City of Fairborn.
