About the event
What do a Dutch cookie, a Lancaster factory, and a group of women from a variety of countries have in common? They are all part of the Stroopie story. And you can find out more about it by joining the Prime Time sponsored tour of the factory and sweet shoppe on Fri, Oct 25.
A stroopwafel (Stroopie in the US) is a Dutch cookie made here in Lancaster city. The story of stroopies is about so much more than making cookies. It is a story of vision and caring. The company exists to “provide meaningful employment to resettled refugee women in Lancaster.” The Stroopie family provides paid English lessons, a place to learn life skills for living in America, group educational field trips, a community of friends in a safe and welcoming environment.
We will visit the factory, hear about their history, and enjoy meeting the women who work there.…
