SAN ANGELO, Texas — Students in the Air Force often don't get to go home for the holidays.
At Goodfellow Air Force Base, "The Great Cookie Caper" is a way to bring holiday desserts to military students.
From Dec. 1-6, San Angelo community members are encouraged to help bake, purchase and package cookies for donation.
According to the program flier, "This event represents what our community is about — taking care of service members, families & giving back."
This is the sixth year of the event and the base is planning on packaging more than 20,000 cookies in total.
From 9 a.m.- 3 p.m. Dec. 1 and 2, cookies can be dropped off at the San Angelo Chamber of Commerce, 418 W Avenue B.
From 1-4 p.m. Dec. 4, drop off will take place at Goodfellow AFB Jacobson Gate.
Finally, from 7:30 a.m.- 5 p.m. Dec. 5 and 6, those with base access can participate in drop offs at the Community Learning Center Building 316.
Before delivering cookies, a form must be printed out and completed with first and last name, type of donation and cookie flavor.
