Sometimes we just need to be asked. You’d like to help but aren’t sure how (or what, when or where)?
Neebing Fire/Rescue Association is asking; are you able to contribute baking to our Holiday Cookie & Treat Sale?
You can make a difference in your community just by baking a batch of cookies or bars or tarts! Our success depends on baking donations like yours.
For those new to Neebing, or who have questions, here are a few pointers:
- NFRA’s Holiday Cookie & Treat Sale is an annual fundraiser to support Neebing Emergency Services. It is entirely supplied by baking donations from the community. At the sale, we set up a ‘cookie walk’ where a container is purchased and you choose which pieces of baking go into your box.
- What type of baking do we need? Baking (or no-bake) cookies, bars and tarts are needed most.
- Baking can be delivered in any disposable container or in a personal container with your name on it, to be picked up that afternoon.
- Bars may arrive uncut, our volunteers with cut and package them.
- Cookies are best received in bulk. Volunteers will place a selection of them on our cookie tables and refill as needed.
- How many should I make? Any amount is most welcome; from 1 dozen to 8 dozen or more. They will all help raise money for NFRA to support NES purchases.
- Where will this take place? Blake Community Hall is where the action will be Located on Blake Hall Road just off of Hwy 61, south of the Hwy 608 exit.
- When do you need my baking? Our Holiday Cookie & Treat Sale will be held on Saturday December 14th from 1pm to 3pm. You may drop off your baking just prior or drop off at Blake Hall on Friday December 13th, between 10:30am and noon! Be setting up tables and decoration at that time and will be happy to accept your baking there.

NFRA sends tremendous thanks to the volunteers who come out to our Can Sorts! I hope you were able to attend our Thank-You Luncheon on December 1st, hosted by Nancy, our Can Sort coordinator. Delicious food from local vendors A.J.’s and Bakery on Boundary were served.
A huge thank you to all residents who donate their pop & beer cans, liquor bottles, etc. to NFRA at our two landfill locations. Your generosity is inspiring and allows us to support NES in no small way! 2024 has been a record-breaking year in revenue from this initiative. The details will be in January’s Neebing News. Thank you for your ongoing contributions.
Be safe, be well and be kind.
