Something sweet is coming to support local kids in Chatham-Kent.
As students prepare to head back to school next month, Sweet C’s Cookie Creations is teaming up with the United Way to help ensure every child returns to class with the tools they need to succeed, and a little treat.
Cookies for a Cause runs now through August 22, supporting the United Way’s BaCK to School Program, which provides backpacks, school supplies, and grocery cards to children and families across Chatham-Kent who are struggling to keep up with the rising cost of living.
“Every child deserves to walk into the classroom on the first day feeling confident,” said Lorraine Goddard, CEO of United Way in a news release. “When a small business like Sweet C’s steps forward with such generosity and community spirit, it reminds us that real change starts close to home.”
Proceeds from every cookie sold at Sweet C’s will go directly to United Way’s BaCK to School Program. Customers can also help by spreading the word online using the hashtag #CookiesForACause or by gifting cookie boxes to teachers, friends, or neighbours.
“At Sweet C’s, we believe in more than baking cookies—we believe in baking change,” said Rikki Ashton and Ray Butler, Owners of Sweet C’s Cookie Creations. “It’s incredibly important to us to give back to the community that supports us. Partnering with United Way allows us to make a meaningful difference in the lives of local children.”
Sweet C’s Cookie Creations is located at 6 Lowe Street in Chatham.
