Support the Cookie Cart
As a nonprofit organization, the Cookie Cart cannot operate without the support of the community. We rely on the generosity of businesses, foundations and individuals to help us provide valuable employment training to North Minneapolis youth. There are many different ways you can help support the Cookie Cart.
- Make a financial contribution. Donations of any amount are always welcome. Send your donation to the Cookie Cart at 1119 West Broadway Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55411, or donate online using your credit card by clicking on the yellow "Donate Now" button on our website. Either way, your gift is greatly appreciated and tax deductible to the extent allowed by the law.
- Matching gifts. Many companies, large and small, match contributions make by their current and retired employees. Double your gift to the Cookie Cart by sending us your employer's matching gift form.
- In-kind donations. The Cookie Cart accepts in-kind donations of premium quality ingredients for our cookies from leading food companies. All in-kind donations need to be approved in advance to ensure quality. For a list of our current donation needs or to speak with a staff member about a possible in-kind donation, please call Ann Fleming at (612) 521-0855, ext. 113.
Your support ensures that the young people we serve are prepared for successful adult employment. |
