WATERLOO, Iowa (KWWL) - Try Pie is a local bakery that does more than make and sell pies. It also empowers young women through its summer food truck project.
Try Pie's food truck is a part of the bakery's youth development program. The program's mission is to equip young women for their futures by offering them leadership and entrepreneurial experiences. Co-director Sarah Helleso said the idea of having a food truck was created by last year's senior members.
"With the foot traffic throughout downtown Waterloo, we just weren't having enough action to give them all the hours we wanted to," Helleso said, "and so we were thinking about a solution, maybe in terms of a food truck."
Try Pie's food truck is ran and operated by program members. Girl's between the ages of fourteen to eighteen have a list of required duties that must be done while on the job.
Some of those duties are:
- planning local events
- peer training
- menu selection
- organizing finances
- social media
- prepping and serving pies
Helleso said having this program has been a great resource for the futures of Cedar Valley's youth.
"Jobs are just a significant part of our lives, from youth to adulthood," Helleso said, "and the fact that you can understand how your unique gifts and skills can contribute to something like work is a good opportunity for them to think about what might be possible for their future."
Behind the scenes, the program also helps girls create a plan for furthering their education. Upcoming senior member, Siese Lea said this program allowed her to make leaps and bounds towards her future.
""I have joined this program since I was a sophomore and it's helped me with many stuff like it helped us prep for ACTs and like help us look for colleges."
Helleso said the Try pie truck will be at the Waterloo farmers market every Saturday. There will also be a few pop-up locations that can be found on their Instagram and Facebook.
