My name is Lily and I am an 20-year-old student at the University of Notre Dame who loves baking and working with children. During the spring of 2019, I volunteered at Mission of Mary Cooperative during my high school's Freshman Retreat. I really enjoyed my day with the organization and I was fascinated with the work they do and the difference the organization is making in the Twin Towers neighborhood. 

​

After my day of service, I wanted to find a way that I could continue to help Mission of Mary through both volunteering and financially. During my summers, I spend time at the Farm volunteering and learning more about the issues associated with food deserts. I created this nonprofit cookie business by combining two of my passions, which include baking and working with children. I am proud to have donated over $10,000 in proceeds to Mission of Mary Cooperative in Dayton, Ohio benefitting food insecurity solutions.
