Cookie Cart youth employee comments:

"Working at Cookie Cart has been a phenomenal experience I will remember the rest of my life. I will use what I have learned here in my next job. I found courage, myself, and my voice throughout this 2-year journey. I wish in the future that Cookie Cart can be in every state, maybe even in every city."

~ Breeana, age 17

“I learned that you should always have a good attitude and that you should solve your conflicts peacefully.”

~ DeMarcus, age 15

“Working here definitely changed my life in different ways- it taught me how to value my money, how to work with other teens, and it made me more aware of work.”

~ Amy, age 16

    Not only is Cookie Cart a good cause, but the cookies delivered to my father on his 86th birthday were much appreciated! The quality of the cookies was superb and the friendliness of the delivery man was noteworthy!

    As Grandmother of Cookie Cart's 2011 graduate, Breeana Johnson, I testify that the Bakery Employment Program, plus 360 Skills Training, & NCRC, made a difference in her successful college prep, thanks to Program Director, Taronda Richardson! Thanks for wonderful double chocolate cookies too, Karen Kupfer Johnson

    I always order cookies from the Cookie Cart as gifts for friends and family. I live out of town and it is the perfect way to make someone special feel loved when you aren't there. Cookie Cart is always friendly over the phone and have prompt delivery.
