Kansas City’s Cookies for a Cause Returns This October to Support Families in Need

Kansas City Gets Ready for Cookies for a Cause

Hey there, Kansas City! Have you ever heard about a fundraiser that not only helps out families in need but also gives you a tasty treat to munch on? Well, you’re in luck because Cookies for a Cause is back and sweeter than ever! This delightful event is hitting all the Hy-Vee stores across the Kansas City area this October, and it’s marking its eighth fantastic year of giving.

All About Cookies for a Cause

So, what’s this all about? For the entire month of October, every time you purchase a six-count package of those deliciously iced pumpkin cookies from your local Hy-Vee, a dollar will go directly to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kansas City. Yes, that’s right! You get to enjoy a yummy cookie, and at the same time, you’re helping families with sick kids by supporting a wonderful charity. Isn’t that the best of both worlds?

A Match Made in Donation Heaven

But wait, there’s even more good news! Hy-Vee is stepping up its game this year by matching donations up to $5,000. This means that the more cookies you buy, the more funds will be raised to support families during their toughest times. It’s a great way to enjoy a treat and contribute to something genuinely impactful at the same time!

Community Connection

“To be able to support our community, especially in such trying times, is important to all of us at Hy-Vee,” said Shelby Prstojevich, a Marketing & Communications Coordinator for the Kansas City area. “Each year we look forward to our Cookies for a Cause fundraiser that benefits Ronald McDonald House and helps families stay together during some of the most challenging times of their lives and provides a support system that they so desperately need.”

A Sweet History

Over the years, this campaign has made a big impact. Since its inception, more than $50,000 has been donated to the Ronald McDonald House. Tami Greenberg, the CEO, expressed gratitude: “We are so grateful for their continued support every year, and we can’t wait to try these delicious pumpkin cookies that go toward helping sick kids and their families at Ronald McDonald House.”

How to Get Involved

If you’re eager to grab a package of those delectable pumpkin cookies while making a difference, head to your nearest Hy-Vee store anytime between October 1-31. You can use the store locator at Hy-Vee.com/stores/ to find the closest location.

Join the Fun!

Remember, this is more than just cookie time. It’s a chance to show love and support to families going through tough times. When you indulge in one (or maybe more!) of those cookies, you’re not just satisfying your sweet tooth; you’re contributing to a community effort that helps keep families close during their challenging moments.

So, let’s rally together, Kansas City! Grab your friends and family, share some cookies, and help spread the word. Let’s make this year’s Cookies for a Cause the most successful one yet. Who’s ready to taste the goodness?

Happy cookie munching and community supporting!
