The Giving Pies Cafe: pies and coffee on a mission
Donation protected
To this day, the Giving Pies have been a successful home based bakery on a mission to help the community, especially the special-needs community as we give parts of our proceeds to an inclusive free program that helps special needs kids play sport alongside typical kids: the E-sports program (www.e-sports.org ). We're in the middle of our third year of operations.
Last March, we were featured in not only one, but 2 news outlets (NBC and ABC) because we live in a community that loves to support each other and eating delicious pies!!
Our ultimate goal is to help even more the special-needs community by employing special needs young adults who have aged out of the school system and need a place where they can contribute their unique gifts.
That's where we need your help! We have found a location in San Jose. Your donations will help us buy equipment like an espresso machine, a dough sheeter and a commercial oven (lease-to-own). It will also provide a few months of working capital to help us focus our efforts into hiring our first special needs (gifted) employee by month 4 and hopefully hire additional ones every quarter, depending on the business load and the love from the community!
Thank you so much for helping us make a difference either by donating or buying our delicious pies! As they say, it takes a village to raise a child and a lot of pies to make them part of the community!
With immense gratitude,
