Duke Habitat Cookie Care Packages

Imagine: Delicious, homemade chocolate-chip cookies delivered to your door during Finals week

Duke Habitat can help make it happen!  This December, we’re partnering with Little Hands Bakery to deliver cookie care packages to students – and all proceeds go to help Habitat for Humanity build homes in the local community. The cookies are homemade by local youth and their parents, and will be hand-delivered during Finals week to campus dorms/apartments and off-campus housing. Forward the order form to your parents so they can send a “little hand” – both to you and to Durham!  They can order two dozen, one dozen, or a single cookie, include a personal message, and specify which day during Finals Week they would like the package delivered. Payment should be in the form of a check made out to “Habitat of Durham” with “Duke Care Package” in the memo line. Checks and order forms should be mailed by November 26th to:

Youth United, Habitat for Humanity of Durham
215 N. Church St.
