In partnership with C.A.P.T.S., we'll soon be shipping care packages to soldiers in Afghanistan. Thanks to the generosity of Marblehead shoppers, we already have over 30 boxes of cookies for these care packages but we'd like to send more cookies and personal care items. The good news is there's still time for you to buy Cookies for a Cause; the boxes you buy will be sent to our troops overseas.

Cookies will be on sale at the on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Please come purchase cookies for our troops and perhaps treat yourself to a delicious box of Thin Mints or Peanut Butter Patties too.

Additional goods for the care packages, such as books/toiletries/candy, are being collected in drop boxes at and the through Feb. 17. Please help us to support the troops!
