About Avy and Pop's Cookie Shop
Creating Change, One Cookie at a Time...
In 2007, after being diagnosed with a disability, our Executive Director, Avy, faced tremendous challenges. Despite being highly educated and experienced, she encountered discrimination and was often underestimated simply because of one word—“disabled.” Society’s labels made others overlook her abilities, her drive, and her brilliance.
Out of these experiences, Avy & Pop’s Cookie Shop was born—a warm, inclusive space where disadvantaged and disabled youth and adults can express their creativity, gain confidence, and prove that disability does not mean inability. It simply means different—and still ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
We are proud to donate 100% of our proceeds to our sister 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Humble Healing Hands, which provides which funds our mission and also provides vital support to those in need. Every cookie you purchase and every dollar you donate directly helps us break the stigma around disability and build opportunities for empowerment and growth.
Our current goal is to raise $50,000 to open Avy & Pop’s Cookie Shop —a welcoming space where participants can develop their talents, explore their passions, and show the world that even slightly broken crayons can still color beautiful pictures.
Your support makes this dream possible.
Together, we can create change, spread kindness, and prove that everyone—no matter their challenges—deserves a place to shine.
Thank you for being part of our journey. 💛
