Bake Cookies for Transforming Jail Ministries

Sharing Christ's love, one cookie at a time.

Our Mission Committee invites you to take part in this year’s Cookies at Christmas drive for our partners at Transforming Jail Ministries (TJM). Each December, we share the love and hope of Christ with inmates, residents, and correctional staff by providing home-baked cookies—small, simple gifts that remind each person they are seen, valued, and not forgotten.

This is a wonderful way for our church family to serve together and bless those who are often carrying heavy burdens during the holidays.

Bring your cookie contributions to Madeira-Silverwood by 1:00 pm on Wednesday, December 17.

Baking and Packing Instructions:

• Cookies should be approximately 2-3” in diameter for packing purposes

• Allow cookies to dry completely before packing and delivering

• Pack cookies flat, in a protective box with wax paper or cardboard between layers

• Do not put cookies in plastic bags

• Tins and containers cannot be stored or returned (please do not send us valuable containers you would like to receive back).

  
  

Approved Cookie Types

You are welcome to bake favorites such as:

• Sugar cookies with sprinkles

• Decorated cut-out sugar cookies

• Cookies with colored M&Ms

• Chocolate chip

• Frosted cookies

• Oatmeal raisin or oatmeal craisin

  
  

Cookies containing nuts (peanut butter, pecan, macadamia, etc.) are acceptable, as we cannot guarantee an allergy-safe environment.

Please avoid items like candy or fudge, which can create jealousy between inmates.
