Holiday Cookie Sale

The Gardena Evening Optimist Club is thrilled to announce our first-ever Holiday Cookie Sale - and this year, every box you buy does double good.

We've partnered with Mychal's Café and Bakery, the social enterprise of Mychal's Learning Place, a California nonprofit (501(c)(3)) that provides support, training, and opportunities for youth and young adults with developmental disabilities. Since opening its doors in 2015, Mychal's Café & Bakery has provided its participants with real, hands-on job training in baking, customer service, cashiering, inventory, and more - helping them build independence, confidence, and job skills they carry into the community.

Your purchase benefits both of us: proceeds support Gardena Evening Optimists' youth programs and Mychal's mission of training and empowering young people. 100% of proceeds benefit local youth.
