(Aurora, Ind.) – Eighteen police and fire departments, 494 first responders, and 1,600 cookies.

Patti Bascom is among those with Lawrenceburg Tri Kappa carrying out the 5th annual Cookies for a Cop program. It’s their way of saying “thank you” to the people who serve and protect.

The volunteers are delivering homemade cookies to 18 police and fire departments in Dearborn, Ohio, Ripley and Switzerland counties.

Bascom says the police and firefighters she has taken cookies to have been very gracious.

“I got ‘mugged’ at the Ripley County Police and 911 Center where the Ripley County Sheriff gave me a mug for thinking of them the last few years,” she shares.

The cookie deliveries began Monday to Dillsboro Fire and Police Departments, Moores Hill Police Department, Milan Police Department, Batesville Fire and Police Departments, Ripley County Police and 911 Center, Indiana State Police Post in Versailles and the Greendale Fire Department. They also plan to take cookies to the Lawrenceburg Fire Department on Friday.

Bascom says Tri Kappa hopes to add even more local departments next year.
