GIVE A Child the Gift of Love for Christmas!

Can you believe that C-Day "Cookies For Christ" was birthed in 1981, 40 years ago? Taking in close to 3 and 1/2 million cookies donated or baked by people across the state? Wow! In 2018 we went back to our roots of homemade cookies and are now taking them to at-risk youth across Florida! Not only did we make this transition, but we go in and host a Christmas Party Program with food, beverages, gift bags, baked goods (cookies), and a "Happy Birthday Jesus Cake! The children love to sing "Happy Birthday" to Jesus. We decorate for the Christmas Party, we eat by Christmas lights, we not only have our Christmas Program, but we also have a fun time. Christmas jokes, Christmas riddles, Christian Trivia, Singing, Lots of laughing, truly sharing the love of Jesus! It's really about taking Christmas & Christ to the Kidz! These Kidz Matter!

C-Day Bio:  In 1981 C-Day started out with several prisons during the month of December, taking in a few thousand homemade cookies.  It grew into an annual event of thousands of cookies being delivered to many prisons around the State of Florida.  Delivering over 100,000 per year.  After 9/11 only packaged store bought cookies could go in under the Florida Dept. of Corrections. Now, they no longer allow any food items to be taken into the prisons.
