Chilliwack adults with developmental disabilities hired to make Tommy’s Choice Dog Cookies
A Harrison-based, dog-cookie company that raises money for guide dogs has been able to increase its productivity thanks to a team of dedicated bakers in Chilliwack.
Ryder, who has autism spectrum disorder, and his grandmother Lillian Newhouse said Tommy’s Choice has been so successful over the past two years that they couldn’t keep up with demand. “I think the best part of the whole thing is they’re enjoying it,” Lillian said. “It’s just so gratifying for them.”Ryder and the four adults in the Life program are known as Team Ryder. They were at the Christmas Craft Market in November where Chelczynski, also known as the team’s salesperson, had customers coming to the booth by shouting out “Extra! Extra! Tommy’s Choice Dog Cookies!”
