After spending hours in the kitchen making about 20 to 30 dozen cookies, Linda Jones doesn’t want to smell freshly-baked sugary goods again for a while. And she won’t have to because her cookies, as well as hundreds of others donated by fellow bakers, will be shipped overseas in care packages to U.S. military personnel. Jones is the head of the local chapter of Treat the Troops, a volunteer group that makes cookies to pack in boxes along with candy, toiletries and appreciation letters.
Treat the Troops effort stays strong
Cookies, care items headed overseas
