Still working on your holiday baking? You can sweeten up a sailor’s holiday by sharing your delicious treats.

The Liberty Program is seeking contributions of baked goods (pies, cakes, cookies and other treats), to serve to single service members on Naval Air Station Whidbey Island on Christmas Day.

“This marks our seventh year of remembering our single service members in this way,” said liberty/deployed forces support program manager Sherry Yates. “All are welcome to contribute — we have both individuals and groups, such as churches, participating.”

Yates invited contributors to drop off their baked goods at the Liberty Northwest Center, located in the galley, between Tuesday, Dec. 20 and Saturday, Dec. 24. The goodies will be given out on Christmas Day from 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.
