DAYTON & DARKE COUNTY, OHIO – Every great feast has its final course, and the same is true for the “I Did it for the Cookie” Cookbook. Donors now have only until Saturday, May 12 to get the cookbook free by registering to donate at any Community Blood Center (CBC) branch location and most community blood drives.
Cookies are a time-honored tradition at blood drives, but the original, donor-inspired “I Did it for the Cookie” Cookbook proves donors have an appetite for much more.
The new cookbook is a gift from donors for donors. CBC gathered the recipes from blood donors, blood drive organizers and volunteers, friends, supporters and staff members. The result is a tidy collection of more than 270 dishes presented in a 175-page, soft cover, spiral bound cookbook. As it says in the dedication, this publication is a tribute to those willing to help others:
”In this recipe book we celebrate not only the time-honored tradition of the blood drive cookie, but also the connection between sharing the gift of life and sharing a table. Blood drive volunteers draw from their richest recipes to say a sincere “thank you” to donors. They cook, bake and assemble delightful dishes to help donors replace what they have sacrificed and to provide the warm satisfaction that comes from doing good and eating well!”
