Gozo’s Ice Cream, a project of the El Paso Community Foundation, dedicated to providing meaningful employment opportunities for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), has made its way to Austin, Texas! El Paso-based Gozo’s Ice Cream, is now available at the Texas State Capitol in the office of Representative Mary González, bringing both joy and purpose to the halls of government.

“At Gozo’s, we believe in the value and potential of adults with IDD and that everyone deserves the opportunity to work, grow, and be part of something bigger,” said Adam Tirres, Program Officer at the El Paso Community Foundation. “We’re thrilled that Rep. González is helping us share our mission—and our delicious ice cream—with leaders and constituents from across Texas.”

Gozo’s Ice Cream is known for its high-quality, handcrafted flavors and its commitment to paying fair wages, with employees starting at $10/hour. More than just a job, Gozo’s provides adults with IDD the chance to gain skills, build confidence, and find community. Gozo’s ice cream is lovingly made in-house, and every scoop served supports a movement toward greater opportunities for those with IDD.

By making Gozo’s Ice Cream available at the Capitol, Rep. González is helping raise awareness about the importance of mission-driven businesses that create pathways for people with IDD to thrive. Visitors to her office will not only enjoy a sweet treat but also get a taste of the impact Gozo’s is making in El Paso and beyond.
