ZABS Place operates a nonprofit thrift boutique in Matthews, NC that trains and employs adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Cakeable equips adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities with barista and customer service skills by operating a cafe in Charlotte, NC. Facing financial challenges, Cakeable began exploring partnerships and approached ZABS Place. The SeaChange-Lodestar Fund provided a grant to support implementation costs.
