She's produced more than 150, with each taking about 10 minutes to make.

Her first delivery went to the Roots of Faith church in Sharpsburg, where Channel 11 told you volunteers are giving away food to seniors and others in need.

Ava has launched a Facebook page where you can reach out and follow her journey. She hopes the posts will inspire others to get involved, too.
