Cookie Challenge

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

Ok, so I am challenging the Urban Angels this month to spread some love and cookies! If you have kids then get them involved too! Your nieces, nephews, grandkids, friends, have a get together for ‘challenge cookie’!

Charl Gambill and her kids Hope Cherish & Noah Brave

So here’s what to do, it’s very simple:

1) Bake some cookies (or if baking’s not your thing, cheat and buy some) – it’s only going to cost you a couple of pounds and some time.

2) Once you’ve had fun with the kids baking them, then comes the doorstep delivery service. Put the cookies in a basket, make it look pretty with some napkins. Get the kids’ coats and shoes on and go down your street saying ‘we baked too many cookies and so we thought we would do a doorstep delivery!’

3) Knock on the door  and say hello. Introduce yourself to your neighbours (if you don’t already know them) and tell them where you live! Or take some cookies to your office, or your local corner shop or even your petrol station! (We did that – they loved them!)

Be creative! Let us know how it goes! If you can step out of your door onto someone else’s doorstep then it’s a start. From there connections are made and barriers are brought down. Find out who in your neighbourhood may be alone, pregnant, in need and see the help that you as an Urban Angel can now be.

Get Baking!
