CUDAHY -- Jen Clark and her staff with Jen's Sweet Treats were hard at work on Thanksgiving, Thursday, Nov. 28 -- showing support for first responders.

Clark and her staff delivered 3,100 cupcakes to first responders in Milwaukee County working on the holiday.

It was part of the second annual "Feeding Frenzy for First Responders."

Clark said she and her staff planned to visit police officers, firefighters, EMS officials, staff at the jail, House of Correction, etc.

"They do a lot for us," said Clark. "They keep us safe. they keep our city safe so we can live our daily lives. If I can bring a smile to somebody's face with a cupcake and make their day a little bit better, I'll deliver cupcakes every day. That's my plan."
