Event Details
A favorite tradition is on its way for one of FUMC’s most favorite and longest running traditions. In the past, UMW asked church members to bake cookies for our Annual Cookie Jamboree in December and then sell boxes of these homemade goodies to provide for children and families.
Even though we can’t bake and sell this year, the need remains. United Methodist Women would like, this year, to provide funds for clothing to area children and need your help by “baking” and “buying” a virtual box of cookies! This year we are asking for monetary donations only, and ask that you consider a couple of things. If you typically bake and donate cookies please consider the cost of your recipe’s ingredients, or if you typically purchase a box (or 2 or 3!) please remember we charge $10 per box.
Cookie Jamboree, is UMW’s largest fundraiser, and we need your help in order to provide for these children. Of course, any monetary donation, large or small, is welcome, and very much appreciated.
WAYS TO GIVE:
1. Online Giving
- Go to FUMCCOPPELL.ORG, select GIVE from the navigation bar and then select GIVE ONLINE NOW.
- Enter an amount to give, select UMW-Alt Cookie Jamboree from the FUND drop down, enter your email address, and press CONTINUE to enter payment information.
2. Text FUMCC Cookie to 73256 and then following the instructions above to enter amount and payment information.
3. Mail a check (note – Cookie Jamboree) to the church office anytime before December 6 (420 S. Heartz Road, Coppell, TX 75019).
