Cookies for Charity

The Cookie Jar is a non-profit sampler box with the majority of the proceeds (75%) being donated to an annual charity voted on by the blog readers. We try to pick charities that are rated well with the BBB and who have very little overhead costs, which means more money benefiting those causes. We also try to choose causes that benefit mothers, children and/or families because as mothers ourselves, we feel passionate about giving back and helping mothers and families in need.

If you have a charity that you would like to recommend for future voting, please feel free to contact us with the information at cookiejarcontact@themamadramalogues.com.
