Thank you, Treeline Acres Farm, for your generous donation of cookies and frosting for our youths during the winter season!

Our youths at both boys' and girls' houses had a great time doing it and have asked to learn how to make more treats.

Here are some of the creative cookies our youths made with joy and excitement, too, to munch on!

Thank you again, Treeline Acres Farm.
