Union bakers help
whip up dough for
hospital fundraiser
The Safeway Clackamas Bread Plant was a
festive place Dec. 7 as more than 3,500 people
participated in the Cookie Bake for Doernbecher
Children’s Hospital.
Safeway has been hosting the event for 25
years, raising nearly $540,000.
The cookie bake — a family tradition for
many participants — uses 35,000 pounds of
cookie dough. The day before the big event, some 400 vol-
unteers mix the dough, then weigh and bag it into five and
10-pound bags for sale to the public. Among those volun-
teers are members of Bakers Union Local 114 who are em-
ployed at the Safeway Clackamas Bread Plant.
“(Local 114) members donate their valuable time to
make the dough. They bring in their families and have a
great time,” said plant manager Jody White. “We produced
14 doughs of sugar, and six doughs of chocolate chip,
roughly 35,000 pounds of dough.”
Orchestrating the mixing of all the cookie dough was
Local 114 member Brian Ward. In the photo above left,
Keven Norcross and his son get sugar cookie dough out of
the mixer, while in the photo above right, Steve Char-
boneau maneuvers a trough of cookie dough to its final
destination. In the photo above, participants at the sold-out
event bake their cookies.
Each purchased reservation entitles a family to 10
pounds of sugar cookie dough, and an individual work area
supplied with cookie sheet pans and icing. Cookies are
baked in Safeway’s industrial bread plant oven.
The cookie bake goes beyond just baking and is truly a
holiday event that features Santa Claus, holiday music, and
festive décor.
