A pushcart was furnished by supporters of Sister Jean’s efforts, and young people began selling their cookies on the streets of North Minneapolis. In 1988, the Cookie Cart was registered as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and the cookie baking was moved to a bakery on Emerson Avenue North, near West Broadway Avenue. Today, the Cookie Cart is located on West Broadway Avenue, in the heart of North Minneapolis. Since its inception, the Cookie Cart has served literally thousands of young people who live in North Minneapolis."

The Cookie Cart hosted its yearly fundraiser at my school (The Art Institutes International, Minnesota) November 7th. I was invited to photograph this event by a fellow student. The event included a wine tasting, silent auction and five course gourmet meal cooked by Ai culinary students.
