Some people leave an imprint on an organization that can never be measured.

Sue Zelickson was one of those people.

She believed in Cookie Cart's mission and, more importantly, believed in our young people. She showed up. She connected people. She opened doors. She celebrated successes. And she reminded us that community is built through relationships, generosity, and care.

Sue's legacy reaches far beyond the organizations she supported. It lives on in the countless lives she influenced and the stronger community she helped create.

We are honored to have known her and grateful for the many ways she helped Cookie Cart grow and thrive.
Thank you, Sue.

You will be deeply missed and forever remembered. by @cookiecart_twincities

After hearing KMOJ shout out Cookie Cart this morning asking for peanut butter cookies are at, Jarell got right to work baking a fresh, extra batch to bring over to the station.

Happy National Peanut Butter Cookie Day! Thanks to our radio friends at KMOJ!
