Here’s some money..go ahead and spread diabetes to all who can afford 5 bucks for 6 cookies.

Great initiative.. but how about more relief and continued support for our most vulnerable (seniors, the homeless, paramedics, people in domestic situations, pharmaceutical workers, social workers, support workers). Again, this is a great idea, but cookie sales support.😅
