It's the return of 'Treat the Troops', an annual cookie drive designed to send a little taste of home to our soldiers serving overseas. A simple gesture that goes a long way for those so far from their families during the holiday season.

You can help the 'Treat the Troop' efforts by baking some cookies for the cause. Those interested in contributing can prepare the cookies and drop them off on December 5th and 6th to the locations listed below. Cookies should be packaged 6 to a plastic bag and clearly marked if they contain any nuts. Other treats such as candy, hot cocoa, oatmeal, cards and letters can also be included.

Last year Straub Catalano & Halvey Funeral Home who coordinates the efforts collected and sent almost 13,000 cookies, their aiming for 15,000 this year.
