CHANA – Chana Education Center’s staff and students are gearing up for their annual Christmas Bake Sale.
This yearly event has provided funding for the students and staff to “pay it forward” to many area organizations and families in need this holiday season.
This year there will again be Christmas meal baskets filled with food, household, and toiletries for families receiving services at Serenity House, and for area families in need living in Ogle and Lee counties. There will also be the makings for Thanksgiving dinner for the staff and families spending Thanksgiving at Serenity House.

Staff and students have already eagerly been planning and preparing for this event. The Christmas Bake Sale features cookies and candies of all varieties sold by the pound for $5. The sale will be on Dec. 13 from 10 a.m.-7 p.m. at Chana Education Center, 204 Main St. in Chana.
Select your own cookies on the day of our sale, or choose the pre-order option. The pre-order will be a mix of goodies selected by students, wrapped and ready for your pick-up. Pre-Orders will be taken from now until Dec. 7, and can be arranged by calling 815-234-2722, Ext. 1.
This year offers a special pick-up time for pre-orders on Dec. 12 from noon to 4 p.m. During this time, no new orders can be made. Questions about the event can also be directed to 815-234-2722.
Products are made by students under the supervision of school staff. Efforts to prevent allergen cross-contamination are made but cannot guarantee that all products are allergen free.
  Thank you for continuing to support our students and this project. We look forward to sharing in the spirit of giving this holiday season with you!.
