33rd Annual Cookie Walk Saturday, December 13, 2025 
Doors Open at 10 a.m.

​Select from a wide variety of cookies to fill a box and purchase for $20.00.
You will also have the opportunity to purchase jams and jellies and candles from Bright Endeavors.
This is more than candles. Artfully hand-poured by the young moms in our paid job training program, each Bright Endeavors candle lights the way toward strong families and bright futures.

As a social enterprise of the Chicago nonprofit New Moms, Bright Endeavors engages young moms in our paid job training program where they learn comprehensive skills, gain confidence, and forge career paths, all while learning what is required to power a small business for our growing brand of artisanal scented candles.
​
100% of Bright Endeavors proceeds support New Moms’ nonprofit programs providing housing, job training, college success, and family support for young moms facing barriers caused by systemic poverty.

​Proceeds from the sale of cookies and gift card chances also benefit New Moms, Beyond Hunger, Global Refuge and Refugee support.

We remain strong and continue to meet people’s most basic needs while safeguarding health during this time of increased need. The people we serve are being hit hardest while our economy continues to recover. We expect that some neighbors will need to visit our food pantry for the first time. 
We want our community to know: We are here for people who are hungry.
