Serenity House serves cookbooks in time for holiday giving

PORT ANGELES — First-edition Serenity House Family Services Cookbooks are available for holiday giving.

Recipes covering the gamut from breakfast to dessert, super-affordable to splurge, were contributed by Serenity House clients, staff and volunteers.

The 128-page, comb-bound books were designed, printed and assembled in-house.

Taking the lead to bring an idea to reality was Bryanne Stewart, who worked as a summer-into-fall intern with Serenity House Family Services programs, which help homeless families with children achieve self-sufficiency.

Although Stewart completed the internship required for her bachelor’s degree in human services from Western Washington University in mid-November, she returned as a volunteer to help assemble the books, assisted by her 3-year-old daughter, Bailey.

Cookbooks may be purchased for $7 each at the Serenity House Thrift Store, 502 E. First St., Port Angeles; Serenity Shop, 215 N. Sequim Ave., Sequim; or at the Serenity House administrative office, 2203 W. 18th St., Port Angeles.

Proceeds from cookbook sales help support Serenity House services to homeless families.

For more information, phone Serenity House at 360-452-7224.
