Uniting for the holidays baking supply drive
Kicks off: Monday, November 10, 2025
Ends: Friday, December 12, 2025
Many families struggle to buy groceries, let alone baking supplies for the holidays. Let’s help them continue (or create) a family tradition of baking holiday goodies! Host a baking supply drive at your workplace, with your family/friends, or on your own.
Basket Requirements
Each basket (or sturdy decorative container) should include the following items:
• 1 Cake or Cookie Mix
• 1 Bag of Flour (2–5 lb)
• 1 Bag of Sugar (2–5 lb)
• 1 Bottle of Cooking Oil
• 1 Package of Brown Sugar OR Powdered Sugar
• 1 Small Bottle of Vanilla OR Holiday Spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, etc.)
• 1 Set of Measuring Cups OR Measuring Spoons
• 1 Baking Tool (cookie sheet, cake pan, spatula, rolling pin, or oven mitt)
Important Notes
• Please pack items together into one basket or festive container.
• If your group collects enough supplies for multiple sets, please create multiple baskets rather than adding extras into one.
• To ensure fairness, United Way may adjust basket contents before distribution, so every family receives a similar kit.
• Gift cards will not be accepted.

All baskets should be delivered to:
United Way of Marathon County
705 S. 24th Avenue, Suite 400B
Wausau, WI 54401
