Thank you all for the awesome feedback from my post yesterday about the disaster relief initiative. I am reposting the info from my post yesterday for reference and adding the details and how to be a part of this wonderful movement to help with Hurricane Helene disaster relief.
From yesterday's post for reference....
The recent storm devastation has hit very close to my heart as it affects my daughter in Asheville, family and friends in Virginia, Tennessee, south Georgia and Florida. My heart tells me to do something to help, no matter how big or small. I am part of a group here on Facebook called Your Baking Bestie and we have collectively launched an effort to give back to these communities by baking cookies and offering them for a donation, 100% of proceeds going to these local communities via organizations that are "boots on the grounds"...organizations like Samaritans Purse, World Central Kitchen and Mountain Mule Packer Ranch, etc.
As many of you know, I do bake and decorate cookies as a hobby for families and friends, home hobby baker only. I have said I would NEVER sell them. This is an opportunity to offer them to friends and family for disaster relief and will accept your donations in return.
DETAILS -
1. I will take pre-orders starting Tuesday, October 8th through October 15th only, at this time. I am doing this so I don't get overwhelmed with more than I can handle and will strive to have cookies ready for delivery beginning Tuesday, October 22nd.
2. There will be two flavors of cookies to choose from.
- Pumpkin Spice sugar cookie with cream cheese flavored royal icing or - red velvet sugar cookie with cream cheese flavored royal icing. Sorry, I don't do gluten free nor is my kitchen nut free.
3. The design is a United States shaped cookie, 3 - 4 " in size, with a red heart over the "southeast" and the words or similar, "In Our Hearts". It will be fashioned after the cookie design in the picture.
4. Suggested donation - 6 cookies for a donation of $25.
100% donations will go to the relief groups, the only thing I would ask is if I ship to you, $$ to cover those shipping costs.
5. I will accept VENMO (-Eddy), PayPal ([email protected]), cash or a check made payable to Kayjon Designs. I can also take credit card payments and we can do that through a phone call. (If shipping, donation $$ required before they are shipped)
6. I will notify all donors of the amount of funds we have raised and what organizations it is going to. If you are passionate about a particular one mentioned, please tell me that when ordering.
7. How to order - This is VERY important as I want to accurately keep track of all orders and I will need them all in one place, please. (You know how the aging mind works sometimes! 🤪 )
Either email me at [email protected], or reply via Facebook messenger to my Kayjon Designs page with what flavor you would like, quantity, how you will be making your donation and method of how you would like to receive your cookies. Include your address if they need to be shipped. My address is on the cover picture of my page.
Ok, I think I covered everything. I am waiting on an additional cookie cutter and a few supplies so I will mostly like not begin to bake cookies until later this week.
Thank you for your support and let's make a direct difference in the lives of those that have lost so much.
Love, Tena
