Luther Crest Retirement Community, South Whitehall, recently hosted a gingerbread cookie decorating contest and toy drive for children.

Guests were asked to bring unwrapped toys to the Dec. 12 event.

These would be given to those youngsters served by the adoption and foster care program.

After the event, choosing the best decorated gingerbread cookie was done by online voting.

Luther Crest Chef James Lantier won the gingerbread decorating contest by online vote.

Light refreshments were served to guests.
