Join One Girl Cookies for a little giving and a little receiving.

On Wednesday, December 11th from 6:00 pm-9:00 pm we will host a good old fashioned cookie swap along with a gift giving & wrapping event to support Operation Santa. The event will be held at our Industry City location in Sunset Park. Of course there will be snacks & wine for swapping and wrapping energy!

We would love as many people as possible to both wrap and swap, however feel free to participate in only one of the activities. Details below!

How do I attend?

Please register through Eventbrite. Admission is free and open to adults only.

How do you wrap?

Bring a gift for a kid in need by choosing the gifts from the sign up sheet here. The list was compiled from letters that can be found here.
We'll have a fully stocked wrapping station. Together we will wrap all of the gifts.
OGC elves will bring them to the post office for distribution.

How do you swap?

Bring at least two dozen of your favorite homemade cookies.
We'll give you an empty box to fill up with other sweet treats from our friends & neighbors.
Bring your sweets box home to share and enjoy!
*Added bonus: The professionals at OGC will taste all of the cookies and crown someone with the title of "Merriest Cookie Baker" and present them with an OGC $50 gift card.*

More about USPS's Operation Santa:

Over a hundred years ago, the United States Postal Service began receiving letters addressed to Santa. These were sorted and put aside.
1912, Postmaster General Frank Hitchcock created Santa’s first mailroom—authorizing local postmasters to open up these letters for employees to read and respond.
1940s, letters poured in and the program was expanded to the general public.
