Would you eat a cookie to save a pet?
Talk about a yummy way to give back to your community. For the entire month of April, all Flying Star Café and Satellite Coffee locations will sell handmade logo cookies to benefit Animal Humane | New Mexico. Each time one of the esteemed treats is purchased, a dollar goes toward the campaign.
The "Buy a Cookie, Save a Pet," campaign is a unique traditionnow in its seventh year. Organizers are hoping to raise $18,000 by the end of the month, all to make a difference in the lives of homeless pets.
"The simple act of buying a delicious Flying Star cookie gives a homeless pet a brighter future," Peggy Weigle, executive director of Animal Humane said.
Flying Star and Satellite Coffee have committed to producing more than five times its normal amount of handmade sugar cookies for the month. Organizers are encouraging the community to order ahead when purchasing a dozen or more cookies and to share the cookie-love with friends, co-workers and family members.
"Our annual 'Buy a Cookie, Save a Pet' campaign is a perfect combination of good-will and community activism. It allows us to bring our year-long mission of support directly to the bakery cases of our cafes and coffee shops," Lindsay Hertz marketing and communications manager at Flying Star Café and Satellite Coffee said.
Participating is easy. Simply visit any of the Flying Star Café or Satellite Coffee locations during the month of April and ask for the logo cookies. (Flying Star Santa Fe and Satellite University of New Mexico locations excluded).
