Today, Cookies for Caregivers has continued delivering a steady supply of cookies and love to all kinds of workers with the thought that everyone is essential!
Like many at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, in March 2020, Scott McKenzie was furloughed from his athletics job at Juniata College in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. Looking for something to occupy his time, the married father of two grown daughters pulled out the red Betty Crocker Cookbook and tried his hand at baking chocolate chip cookies from scratch. Pleased and proud of his creation, he posted photos on Facebook.
Those look pretty good, but I bet mine are better, his friend Jeremy Uhrich, a local middle school teacher and father of two young boys, playfully commented.
Up for the challenge, the two friends tapped their mayor, David Wessels, to judge a cookie-baking competition, pitting each of them against a high school girl. She won. Still, the guys had a great time.
The "bake-off" had been held at the Huntingdon Borough Hall. So Scott and Jeremy dropped their extra cookies in the office, for police officers, 911 operators and firefighters. And they got an idea: How about we keep baking cookies and give them to essential workers, as a thank-you?
