TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Dads Bake,Cookies For Frontline Workers
They call it Cookies for Caregivers and invite others to make treats for first responders and business owners.
A pair of Pennsylvania dads challenged each other to a bake-off back in April after they both made cookies on the same day and it’s led to an ongoing good deed in their community. Scott McKenzie and his pal Jeremy Uhrich decided to put their chocolate chip cookies to good use and gave them to frontline heroes as a thank-you during the pandemic.
The dad duo then created Cookies for Caregivers, a group that invited others to make treats for first responders and businesses. Since April, more than 100 bakers have gotten involved, baking and delivering more than 15-thousand snickerdoodles, sugar cookies, and more to workers at local hospitals, grocery stores, fire departments and more.
“We just wanted to let these people know that we care about you, we recognize you and we aren’t forgetting about what you’re doing,” Uhrich explains. “This is just our small way of saying thank you and showing gratitude for what you have been doing and continue to do throughout the pandemic.”
