What are the Holidays without the traditional Gingersnap cookies?

Houston’s The Center has been supplying these tiny treats nationwide for years! Through Gingersnaps Etc., they have been using the funds they raise to support the work they do for the Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Community (IDD).
