Alexis Davis recently bit into a warm orange sugar cookie and tasted admiration.
âIt means a lot to me that people are still thinking about us,â said Davis, who works as an emergency medical technician with Lancaster EMS. The sugar cookies, along with snickerdoodles and chocolate oat morsels, came courtesy of the newly created Lancaster chapter of Cookies for Caregivers. Some 30 volunteers bake and deliver cookies weekly to area frontline workers. Three EMS stations shared 12 dozen cookies on a recent Wednesday.
Thatâs why Lancaster resident Jodi Drummond stepped in. âKindness,â she explained, âis as simple as a cookie.â
Drummond started the local baking group after reading about a new national charity that began in Huntingdon County.
