Pattycake Pattycake

Holiday Baking, originally uploaded by Patty360.

This past weekend I spent my Saturday morning volunteering with fellow Loyola Young Alumni at Misericordia. We worked at their Hearts and Flour Bakery to help with their holiday orders. The proceeds help provide job opportunities to adults with developmental disabilities who work at the bakery during the week. Volunteering beside us were several family members of these adults who benefit from this program and the many other programs Misericordia has to offer. They expressed gratitude for the opportunities that this organization has provided their loved one. I walked away with a new skill for getting pecans to stick to cookie dough (roll the dough between your hands to release the oil before rolling in the nuts) and new connections with the other volunteers. What a Happy Saturday!
