A Katy pie shop facing closure due to rising ingredient costs and lower sales was saved by the community who raised over $12,000 online to cover unpaid rent.

A Katy pie shop is open, despite a rough start to the week, thanks to customers who wanted to give back some of the generosity they've received. Proud Pie has been a community staple for eight years, never missing an opportunity to be a good neighbor.

"People won't pay $12 for a slice of pie."Some may recall, after the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, when Proud Pie took its entire pie inventory on the road and gave it away to a grieving community. It's just some of the shop's charitable outreach.When Chapman asked for help on Facebook, the response was enormous. In less than half an hour, people offered gifts and micro-loans totaling more than $12,000 to cover the missing rent.
