National Animal Cracker Day at Church of Christ

At the Church of Christ Care Center, we celebrated National Animal Cracker Day. Our residents loved the fun and young tradition and had a blast telling stories about when they were younger eating them. The culinary team made homemade no bake cheese cake squares and use animal crackers as the crust. They were then topped with an animal cracker for a fun and simple dessert. Every month at least once a week we try and celebrate one of the national food days and our residents absolutely love them. Good Job Team, Let's keep up the good work!
