Ladies of the Market Cookie Exchange to Benefit Mid-Ohio Food Bank
November 11th, 2009 by Mary
Get your holiday baking under way in style! The Ladies of the Market are once again sponsoring a night of cookies, appetizers, wine, and jazzy Christmas music to kick start your holiday season in a fun and meaningful way. Join us on Thursday, December 3 from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. in the Dispatch Kitchen at the North Market for our Cookie Exchange.
For a nominal $50 donation, every participant will go home with a selection of three dozen cookies handmade by the Ladies of the North Market and some recipes to boot! Homemade cookies are a time-honored holiday tradition, but time is a precious commodity during the busy holiday season. So let the Ladies of the Market do some of your baking for you! You will be able to select 36 delicious, made-from-scratch cookies from the ovens of our North Market merchants. Every kind of cookie imaginable, from traditional cut-outs to cherished family recipes, will be represented at this event. Hosted by Robin Davis of The Columbus Dispatch and the Ladies of the Market, the evening will also include tasty local food bites, wine, coffee, and holiday music provided by Jazz Mary.
100% of the event proceeds go to the Mid-Ohio Food Bank. For every dollar donated to the Mid-Ohio Food Bank, they are able to distribute $8.00 worth of groceries to people in need. Each year, this worthy organization collects and distributes food to more than 500 food pantries, soup kitchens, and homeless shelters as well as to after-school programs and senior citizen housing sites in central and eastern Ohio. It is no secret that this year is a particularly needy one in terms of the number of people within our community who will depend on the Mid-Ohio Food Bank to help feed their families. The Ladies of the Market Cookie Exchange is a fun way to help those families within our community.
Please join us for this fun evening supporting a great cause. Last year, this event raised $2,500 for the Mid-Ohio Food Bank. This year, our goal is to increase our attendance from 50 to 60 participants. Space is limited, so call the North Market to reserve your space today - and bring a friend!
