See Margaret Cook's: "America's Charitable Cooks", p. 268., where the author states: "The Settlement Cook Book has probably been the most successful of fund-raising cookery books. All of the proceeds for the past 70 years have been donated to Milwaukee charities, including the original Settlement House for immigrants, the nursery school at Milwaukee State Teachers College, child care centers of Milwaukee, camps for under-privileged children, the Jewish Vocational Service, the Milwaukee Public Schools, and the Jewish Community Center. Articles on Mrs. Kander and the Settlement Cook Book appeared in the Milwaukee Sentintel, September 18 and 20, 1965; and the Milwaukee Magazine, Vol. 10, No. 11, November 1965."
