It’s the holiday season — the perfect time to bake, share, and give back!
Join us for HealthBarn’s Annual Gingerbread Baking Event, a festive family experience filled with warmth, teamwork, and sweet traditions on Saturday, December 6, 2025 from 2:00 – 3:30 pm.
Families will work together to:
– Make gingerbread cookies from scratch;
– Roll, shape, bake and decorate their cookie creations;
– Write heartfelt notes of love and encouragement to accompany the cookies.
While the cookies bake, enjoy milk (and milk alternatives!) and the joy of sharing the holiday spirit with others.
Proceeds and cookies will be donated to families with ill children receiving outpatient cancer treatment at Tomorrows Children’s Fund at Hackensack Medical Center and Paterson’s St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital through the HealthBarn Foundation’s Healing Meals Program.
Please join us: Families (mixed ages): $40 per family, register online or call 201-444-2955. You must register in advance for cookie preparation. Reserve your spot early as this event sells out quickly!
Where are we baking? At HealthBarn USA, 1057 Hillcrest Road, Ridgewood, NJ 07450.
Come bake with us, give back, and make holiday memories that truly matter.
