OUR UNIQUE MISSION AND VISION

Welcome to Unique Sweets, a nonprofit nestled in the heart of Chicago, where we’re dedicated to fostering a vibrant, inclusive community for autistic adults and their families. Our mission is to unearth and celebrate the unique talents of every individual through dynamic programs such as Community Pop-Up events, engaging Baking and Cooking classes, and delightful Community Outings, available both virtually and in-person. As we strive to deepen the sense of belonging, we are also raising funds to establish a community café, a warm, welcoming hub that will centralize our offerings and serve as a testament to our belief in the power of unity. Join us as we build a world where everyone’s sweetness is celebrated.
