The Cookie Place began in 1982, to provide supported job training and professional development to people with disabilities.

Today, our goals remain the same:

• to operate a competitive and sustainable food service business which provides high-quality cookies and food items at retail, in our café and through our catering business,

• to help adults with psychiatric disorders become as productive and independent as possible, through job training, placement and employment

• to benefit our community – our funding partners, our vendors, our employees and our dedicated staff – with quality services and profitable product

Thank You
When others would not give our clients a chance because of their disability, Cookie Place did. We would like to thank our partners: the State of RI’s MHRH (Mental Health Retardation Hospitals) for the operations grant that keeps our programs and services alive.

We would like to thank the Great Bay Foundation that provided us with private grants, as well as recent partnerships with SVP-RI (Social Ventures Partners of RI) and with the many non-profit and for-profit orgizations that believe in our mission and see the good that we are accomplishing.
