New Members Welcome! This creative gingerbread house featuring a diorama from that holiday movie favorite, “A Christmas Story,” was entered into the 2010 “Home Sweet Home” Gingerbread House Auction benefitting the Neighborhood Housing Services of Phoenix (photo by Teri Carnicelli).
Create a cookie ‘home’ for benefit auction The Neighborhood Housing Services of Phoenix is “calling all bakers” for their unique interpretations of the traditional holiday gingerbread house to be showcased at the 3rd Annual “Home Sweet Home” Gingerbread House Auction. This year’s event takes place on Saturday, Dec. 1 at the Children’s Museum of Phoenix, 215 N. 7th St. Submissions must be original (kits used as a base are acceptable), and participants should create their idea of a “home” with approximately 80 percent using edible materials. The home does not have to be actual gingerbread; however, it must be made from sweet edible materials. Home Sweet Home is an evening of entertainment, art and auction. It will feature dozens of gingerbread houses created by local community members, artists, architects, celebrities and others who want to showcase their artistic talents and support NHS Phoenix. All proceeds from the event go directly to supporting pre-post, reverse mortgage and foreclosure intervention counseling, education, down payment and closing cost assistance, affordable mortgage programs and single-family homes offered by NHS Phoenix. The gingerbread houses will be available for public viewing Nov. 27 through Dec. 1 at the Children’s Museum of
Phoenix during the museum’s regular operating hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Paid museum admission of $11 is required in order to view the houses. Interested bakers should contact Carole Kauffman at ckauffman@ nhsphoenix.org to get in on the gingerbread house fun.
