Casey’s Cookies

Specialties

**Not Open to the Public, Online Orders Only**

Under the supervision of specially trained volunteers, disabled participants bake cookies from scratch, then package and sell their gourmet and specialty cookies to individuals and local businesses through the Casey’s Cookies website (www​.CaseysCook​ies​.org). They learn the importance of teamwork and other valuable job skills while helping to build a business that will provide them with income and a safe place to live.

History

Established in 2010.

Our mission is to promote independence and improve the quality of life for developmentally and physically disabled adults through training and employment, and to develop a residential community in the Tampa Bay area where The Casey Project employees can live and work in a safe and nurturing environment.

Casey’s Cookies Inc. dba The Casey Project is a 501c (3) Florida Non Profit Corporation whose goal is to promote the welfare of disabled adults through training and employment. Mentally disabled adults are as vulnerable as small children — trusting far more than they should, and loving those who show even the slightest kindness. But, it’s difficult for them to find their place in society once they leave school. A few may get jobs working in a hospital laundry, assisting with lawn care, bagging groceries, or working in a fast food restaurant, but most simply remain at home until their parent or guardian is no longer able to care for them.

The Casey Project offers a new opportunity.
