A special thank-you to all the amazing team players who came out to support our Kids Coat Giveaway! Your time, energy, and willingness to serve made a tremendous difference.

On behalf of Bless Cookies Community Network, we want to extend a very special and heartfelt THANK YOU to Bishop Raymond Rivera of the Latino Pastoral Action Center, and to Elbin and Stacy Lopez, for your generous donations and support of our Kids Coat Giveaway.

Because of your kindness and generosity, we were able to pass out over 375 children’s coats!

Your support helped us put warm coats on children in our community and reminded us that when we come together, we can make a powerful difference.

Thank you for believing in the vision and helping us be the hands and feet of Jesus by serving our community.

May God continue to bless you abundantly for your generosity and your heart to serve.

We may never know what someone had to go through just to stand in that line. We may never know the battles they are fighting behind their smile. But for a few moments, we have the opportunity to let them know they are not forgotten, they are not invisible, and they are loved.

We come to serve food for the body, but we also want to provide spiritual food for the soul.
