Item Description

A gift certificate for 1 homemade Texas inspired pie from the Texas Pie Kitchen.

The Texas Pie Kitchen is a culinary job training program for low-income Austinites with barriers to employment. It is supported by the Zephaniah Community Development Corporation. Learn more about what the ZCDC is and does.

ZCDC

The Zephaniah Community Development Corporation was started in October 2006 with its primary mission being to economically empower low-income people in the Rundberg/I-35 area of Austin through small business development and mentoring projects, the first being the Texas Pie Kitchen.

ZCDC is a non-profit community development corporation with ten board members ranging from social workers to east Austin community members to a real estate developer.

ZCDC received its federal tax-exempt status in February 2008 and hopes to open the Texas Pie Kitchen in a low-income area in north central Austin/the Rundberg/ I-35 area by 2010. Jen Biddle, founder of ZCDC, had the opportunity to work with Austin's Texas C-Bar and the University of Texas Law School's Community Development Clinic which assisted her in forming the non-profit and to filing the necessary forms to obtain state and federal tax-exempt status.

Future projects of ZCDC include a mentoring and self-sufficiency project, and a film and media project aimed at middle school students. To learn more, contact Jen Biddle at " jen@texaspiekitchen.org "
