Geneva Church’s Cookie Walk Tradition Celebrates Its 35th Year!

One of Geneva’s oldest and tastiest holiday traditions returns for its 35th year when the Unitarian Universalist Society of Geneva (UUSG) hosts its annual Cookie Walk on Fri., Dec. 1, 4:30-6:30pm.

Held in conjunction with the city’s popular Christmas Walk celebration, the Cookie Walk offers a wide array of festive holiday cookies for sale, home-baked by church members. For $14.00, customers can purchase a box to be filled with cookies they select. Due to health department rules, “cookie elves” will place choices into customers' boxes as they walk through the cookie room. With hundreds of dozens of cookies to choose from, people often fill more than one box.

Money raised at the event goes to support the work of the church and the social justice programs it sponsors, including Habitat for Humanity homebuilding and local non-profit organizations such as Lazarus House and the Northern Illinois Food Bank.

Each year, the lines to buy cookies form early and sell out fast.
