🍲 Share Your Favorite Recipe for a Great Cause!

We’re excited to announce a special project that brings together two of our favorite things—food and family! Our agency is creating a community cookbook to raise funds for adoption services and highlight the unique stories and flavors that unite us.

We’re inviting adoptive families, staff, volunteers, donors, and friends of our mission to submit your favorite recipes to be featured in this beautiful, heartfelt collection. Whether it’s Grandma’s famous pie, your go-to weeknight dinner, or a dish that’s become a new family tradition—we’d love to include it!

📝 Recipe Categories:

• Appetizers & Snacks

• Soups & Salads

• Main Dishes

• Side Dishes

• Breads

• Desserts

• Kid-Friendly Recipes

• Holiday Favorites

• Family Traditions & Stories (optional)

Along with your recipe(s), please include a positive quote or tip for families on their adoption journey—something uplifting or encouraging from your experience. We may feature these words of wisdom alongside your recipe to inspire others.

Each recipe helps us stir up hope for children waiting to be adopted—and showcases the love that nourishes every family.

👉 Email recipes and/or questions to [email protected] - upload a picture of your recipe or type it directly into the email.

Please submit your recipe(s) by July 30, 2025. You're welcome to include a short note about what makes the recipe special to you or your family—we may feature select stories in the cookbook!

Thank you for being part of our extended family and helping us bring this project to life. With your help, we’ll create something meaningful, delicious, and deeply personal.

Warmly,

HOAA
