On December 18^TH and 19^TH at each Mass, our Jail Ministry will be collecting cookies for the inmates in the Hamilton County Prison System. Please bring your cookies to the Welcome Center. Transforming Jail Ministries askes that cookies be approximately 2-3” in diameter, pack cookies flat in a protective box with wax paper/cardboard between layers (do not put cookies in plastic bags). Tins or containers can not be returned. Cookies that have been met with great success are sugar cookies with sprinkles, decorated cut sugar cookies, colored M&M’s, chocolate chip, frosted cookies, oatmeal with raisins or craisins. Peanut butter, pecan, macadamia nut, etc. are approved since we cannot guarantee any cookies are food-allergy safe. Please avoid anything that could create jealousy between inmates such as candy, fudge etc. For questions, please call Tim Gates 941-5417.
