Y
our Green & Growing dessert today is among one of Amani’s most favorite treats – baked with love by an Amani resident. Sherry Green, started baking in 2020 during the Covid pandemic. She baked her famous Chicago-style butter cookies and delivering them to people anonymously to help them get through the pandemic. Green received support through the Ama- ni Neighborhood Revitalization Plan, which focuses on neighborhood safety, housing and economic development. The Domini- can Center learned of her amazing cookies and connected her with our partner, Legal Aid Society of Milwaukee. The organization helped Sherry turn her hobby into a busi- ness. Sherry’s Chicago Style Butter Cook- ies LLC was opened in October 2020 and debuted at an event for the Block by Block initiative, a revitalization effort to improve housing and economic development.
“I am grateful and thankful for all the staff and volunteers at the Dominican Center. Because of the Dominican Center my business is an LLC,” said Green. “I am thankful that I was able to participate in the end of the year community event, where I met some wonderful people and did some great networking. The Dominican Center has allowed my business to be featured in newspapers and my business is continuing to grow because of the connection to the Dominican Center. I want to say thank you for the work and resources that the Dominican Center provides for entrepreneurs like myself. I am grateful and thankful.” Sherry calls her business a “labor of love,” and also works as a special education teacher of Milwaukee Public Schools.
