It's Cookie-Time Bag donation time.
Yes, my Brownie troop is collecting self-contained bags of cookie-baking materials to donate to the local food pantries to sweeten the holidays of the people they serve. It's similar to our Birthday-in-a-Bag donations in celebration of Juliette Gordon Low's birthday.
Here are the details, in case you'd like to try it with your service organization (but note that I'm not soliciting or collecting bags from people online):

What is a Cookie-Time Bag?
A Cookie-Time Bag is a
self-contained bag with everything someone needs to make and decorate cookies
during the holidays.
Who needs a Cookie-Time Bag?
Everyone
likes to bake cookies, especially during the holidays! However, sometimes circumstances occur that
prevent this from happening. A Cookie-Time Bag can sweeten the
holidays.
Where will the Cookie-Time Bags go? Each Cookie-Time Bag collected
will be delivered to local food pantries, by December 13, to be distributed to
the families they serve.
