green and growing

It is always a special encouragement to receive
fresh, home-baked goods. There is something about a
taste or smell that creates or brings back memories. 

There are many people who are alone, busy with work/family, or
in a position due to health where they aren't able
to create tasty home-made treats. Your skills
and love of baking could be a real bright spot
in their day/week. 

Perhaps you already bake for your family and neighbors?
We then encourage you to "think outside the usual box"
and consider sharing your baked gifts with others
you interact with in your broader circle of connections. 


SUGGESTED DIRECTIONS

AREA OF INTEREST: baking, sharing
ACTION: bake a bunch of yummy treats to share 
— cookies, cakes, breads, muffins, etc. Package them up, and make deliveries. These goodies could be given to:
  • neighbors
  • church workers
  • school staff
  • first responders
  • others you interact with daily/weekly  — think creatively!
CONSIDER: depending on who you are baking for, consider that there might be food allergies/intolerances to work around.
WHO: this project could be done individually, with your children, or with a group of friends.
CONNECTION: most deliveries could be made without special contact, but if you decide to bake for a larger number, it might be a good idea to confirm with someone in leadership/management. 
INTERACTION: enjoy the delight found as you deliver! And stick around for a short visit at least if you can.
