Empowering Lives: Pinecrest Bakery's Collaboration with The de Moya Foundation

At Pinecrest Bakery, we believe in the power of making a positive impact on our community. That's why we're proud to announce our collaboration with The de Moya Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to creating employment opportunities for young adults with unique abilities. This partnership is not just about making a difference; it's about fostering hope, confidence, and independence in every individual we work with.

The de Moya Foundation: Bridging Dreams to Reality

Founded in 2015, The de Moya Foundation operates under the mission of creating meaningful employment opportunities for young adults with special needs. The foundation's commitment aligns seamlessly with our values at Pinecrest Bakery, where we believe in the potential of every individual, regardless of their unique abilities.

A Personal Journey with Purpose

The foundation's inception is rooted in a personal journey, a labor of love and passion by a family blessed with an independent, highly social, and resourceful son with unique abilities. This young man is not only a valuable asset to his family's business but also exemplifies an exceptional work ethic, serving as the driving force behind their success.

Building Long-Term Partnerships for Meaningful Employment

The de Moya Foundation focuses on introducing young adults with unique abilities into professional work environments. Through long-term partnerships with employers, the foundation provides ongoing support to both the employers and employees. This approach is designed to foster a platform that encourages long-term, meaningful employment, aligning with the evidence-based practice of Customized Employment (CE).

Benefits for Employers and Employees

Partnering with The de Moya Foundation comes with numerous benefits for both employers and employees. Employers receive disability awareness and sensitivity training, tax credits, and ongoing support throughout the employment process. By hiring individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, businesses not only contribute to a more inclusive community but also gain more efficient work processes and increased productivity.

Employees, on the other hand, benefit from customized job coaching, skills training, workplace social skills coaching, and continual follow-up support to ensure job retention. Additionally, they gain access to The de Moya Foundation's Stay Connected Platform, virtual classes, workshops, and various sports and socializing events.

Pinecrest Bakery's Commitment to Community Inclusion

As part of our commitment to community inclusion, Pinecrest Bakery is proud to provide employment opportunities for individuals supported by The de Moya Foundation. This collaboration not only enhances the lives of these individuals but also contributes to a more diverse and inclusive workforce.

By supporting The de Moya Foundation, Pinecrest Bakery aims to bridge the path to a brighter future for young adults with unique abilities. Together, we can advance the disability employment movement, ensure greater outcomes and success for individuals, and enhance financial growth in our community.
