41 volunteer bakers brought more than 300 kilos of cookies, muffins, breads, cakes, cupcakes and biscotti in 2022

It’s time to grab some sugar, spice, and your favorite Christmas cookie recipe to help the Animal Lifeline Emergency Response Team Society.

ALERT is preparing for their 20th annual “Cookie Walk” fundraiser in Penticton.

The organization is looking for helping hands to bake festive cookies and bars and donate them for sale.

The fundraiser will take place on December 7 at the Penticton Lakeside Resort, with participants invited to bring their own containers and mix and match as many of the donated goodies as they want for $12 per pound.

All money raised will go towards animal care when people are evacuated.

ALERT is entirely volunteer-run and donor-supported, working with emergency officials to enter evacuation zones to care for animals in need.

Those interested in baking cookies are asked to contact Daryl by email (email protected) for more information.
