The Community Presbyterian Church at 530 Jefferson Street in Rochester will be having their annual Community Cookie Walk this Saturday.

Doors open at 9 a.m. and runs until 12 p.m., or sold out. According to church mission and outreach coordinator, Ashley Chipps, by 10:30am, the baked goods are usually 'slim pickings.' 

Raising more than $1,000 from the Cookie Walk last year, donations were given to the food program at Rochester Community Schools, that provide backpacks of food for students to take home. Never keeping a dime of profit, Chipps said the annual event is a labor of love from the church and all those who participate. 

This year's donations are being given to United Ministries of Fulton County, an outreach program that helps local families in need with rent, utilities and medicine. Relying soly on donations, United Ministries of Fulton County announced last month they had to suspend accepting applications for assistance due to lack of funding, needing around $10,000 to restart.

Chipps says the outreach program is something that is close to the church's heart.
