A Maryland baker is doing what she can to give back to the community one cookie at a time.Julie Rewers' latest project involves making sure kids have water to drink in school. "We have raspberry lemonade, which is a raspberry lemon sugar cookie; we have chocolate chip; Oriole dreamsicle, which is an orange cream sugar cookie; and then oatmeal raisin," Rewers said.Those are just a few of the cookie flavors Rewers sells at farmers markets and food truck events. For the Baltimore baker and entrepreneur, each sale is important. She calls her business "Cookies for a Cause Maryland" because a portion of the proceeds go to help people in need."I usually donate 20% of my proceeds to the food bank, but I will also be donating to other specific local causes," Rewers said.Her latest mission is to provide bottled water to students in Baltimore City and Baltimore County public schools. It's a project she started March 1 after seeing on social media that water fountains wouldn't be in operation because of the pandemic."So far, we've donated 4,600 water bottles and about 300 to 400 cases of water to about eight different schools," Rewers said.She lives by the motto: "Cookies will save the world.""So, cookies will save the world. It's definitely a motto that I go by. It's something that seems so small and, like, doesn't seem it will get you very far," Rewers said.But it does go far to help others, one cookie at a time.
