100% of Every $30 Ticket Directly Benefits Local Veterans

WEST END OF MONROE COUNTY, PA The Holiday Cookie Trail is returning for the holiday season after a successful inaugural event in July raised approximately $3,000 for local veterans in need.

The Holiday Cookie Trail will take place Saturday, November 21, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., giving shoppers an opportunity to explore local businesses throughout the West End of Monroe County, enjoy holiday cookies and get a jump start on their holiday shopping, all while supporting local veterans.

Tickets are $30 per person, and 100% of ticket sales directly benefit local veterans through the VALOR Clinic Foundation.

One Ticket. More Than 15 Stops. Plenty of Cookies.

The adventure begins at the VALOR Food Pantry, located at 1134 Old Route 115 in Saylorsburg, where participants will receive what they need to begin their Cookie Trail.

The $30 ticket includes at least one cookie at every participating stop, with more than 15 local businesses and vendors expected to participate.

There is no additional purchase required to enjoy the cookies. Your prepaid $30 Cookie Trail ticket gets you at least one cookie at each stop.

Participants can also browse and shop at the participating businesses along the way, making the event a fun and unique way to tackle some holiday shopping while supporting local businesses.

A Proven Community Success

The Holiday Cookie Trail is not starting from scratch. The first Cookie Trail, held on July 25, 2026, was a hit with the community and raised approximately $3,000, directly benefiting local veterans in need.

Participating stops on the July trail included Klingel’s Farm Market, Gould’s Produce, Heckman Orchards, Life is Good Chiropractic, Coleman Insurance, Mama’s Donuts, Sauce West End, Label Shopper, One Woman’s Junk, Nibor’s Coffee and Big Creek Vineyard, among others.

The overwhelming response to the summer event inspired organizers to bring the Cookie Trail back for the holiday season.

“The July Cookie Trail was such a great experience for everyone involved that we knew we had to bring it back,” organizers said. “This time, we’re adding a holiday shopping component and giving people another fun way to support local businesses while helping veterans in our community.”

A Holiday Tradition in the Making

With more than 15 stops planned throughout the West End, the Holiday Cookie Trail is designed to be more than simply a cookie collection. It is an opportunity to discover local businesses, find unique holiday gifts, spend time with friends and family and make a direct impact on veterans who need assistance.

All of the $30 ticket proceeds go directly to support local veterans through the VALOR Clinic Foundation.
