A few years ago during the pandemic, Jan came up with a very creative way to celebrate the holidays while observing social distancing and other safety protocols. It was a cookie swap where cookie donations were made and collected in a timed fashion. The cookie swap is now a beloved annual tradition at Thornton Oaks.  Scrumptious cookies are donated and collected by residents and staff alike.  Though we are very good at eating cookies, we are even better at baking them. As a result we’re able to bring hundreds of cookies to the Gathering Place. This warm, welcoming, daytime destination provides shelter, comfort and hope for our neighbors facing homelessness.
