Christmas Cookie Swap at Haven 🎄🍪
One of our favorite traditions of the year.
Alumni come back home to Haven, and our current residents spend the day in the kitchen with Chef Colleen, baking cookies from scratch, learning, laughing, and working side by side.
By the end of the day, the tables are full, the kitchen smells like Christmas.
At the end of the day, we do a cookie swap, and we vote on the best! Friendly competition (mostly 😂)
Everyone leaves with boxes of cookies and full hearts, a beautiful mix of past and present, recovery and tradition, service and joy.
This is what community looks like.
(We can’t share photos of the women for privacy… but the cookies didn’t mind being photographed 😉)
