Empowerment Bag Delivery

Picture


Empowerment Bags are for women staying at Unforgotten Haven. When a woman and her children arrive , they usually come with nothing but the clothing on their backs. These bags will give them some hope that someone cares. That someone is us.

Recipe to Share!

 Lynda Ritterman made the most delicious dessert.
​Here is her recipe:
Lemon Delight:
     1 bag of lemon snaps (from Sprouts)
      2 pkgs of lemon pudding mix
       1 qt milk
         1 large tub of Cool Whip
 Mix the lemon pudding with the qt of milk for 5 minutes.  Refrigerate pudding for several hours, or overnight.
      Crush the lemon cookies. 
       Mix the cookies with the pudding.
       Fold in the Cool Whip.
     Very easy.  Enjoy!
I also think this would be good with ginger snaps and butterscotch pudding, or I have also made it with chocolate pudding and Oreos. Delish!
