2024 Cookies for Corrections Wrap-Up
This season, St. Vincent de Paul’s Reentry Services, Career Development team, and dedicated volunteers brought a touch of warmth and joy to 6,000 residents across six Idaho Department of Correction institutions, including Idaho State Correctional Center, South Boise Women’s Correctional Center, South Idaho Correctional Institution, Idaho Maximum Security Institution, Mountain View Transformation Center, and Idaho State Correctional Institution. Through their collective efforts, they distributed cookies to incarcerated individuals, offering a simple but meaningful gesture of kindness and connection during the holiday season.
Cookies for Corrections
The St. Vincent de Paul Reentry Services Program invites you to participate in “Cookies for Corrections.”
In the spirit of Christmas, members of our reentry team deliver cookies to residents at the South Boise Correctional Complex. This small act of kindness is an opportunity to extend compassion, fellowship, and community to incarcerated individuals in Idaho.
Christmas is a time to reflect on the blessings we have been given and to extend a hand to our neighbors in need.
Receiving a Christmas cookie, as an inmate, might be the only act of humanity and kindness shown to them during the holiday season.
Donate Cookies
Due to regulations of the Correctional Facilities, all cookies must be store-bought.
