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.

• 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 Department of Behavioral Healthcare, Developmental Disabilities and Hospitals (BHDDH) for the operations grant that keeps our programs and services alive.

We would like to thank the Great Bay Foundation and The RI Foundation who provided us with private grants. We would also like to thank SVP-RI (Social Ventures Partners of RI) for their involvement and also the many non-profit and for-profit organizations that believe in our mission and see the good that we are accomplishing.
