Do Good. Feel Good. Buy Pies!

Halloween candy in the front of every grocery store. Weekend pumpkin patch or apple picking outings. Red, yellow, and orange leaves falling from trees on the Mall. In the blink of an eye, DC transitioned from summer to fall while our busy schedules kept their pace. Soon, we will be celebrating Thanksgiving with friends and family.

Instead of making a last minute stop at the store for hostess gifts, Food & Friends would like to invite you to buy one of our delicious pies to share at your holiday meal.

Through November 15th, Food & Friends is peddling pies to help out our neighbors in DC as part of our sixth annual Slice of Life fundraiser. Your purchase will help to deliver nutritious meals to people suffering from HIV/AIDS, cancer or other serious illnesses.

Visit www.foodandfriends.org/pie to find a directory of pie sellers, sign up to help sell pies or purchase online. Pre-purchased pies can be picked up on Tuesday, November 20th at Food & Friends or 28 convenient CVS/pharmacy locations through the region. We are offering four delicious flavors: Spiced Pumpkin Pie, Homemade Apple Pie, Nutty Pecan Pie, and US Airways Almond Amaretto Brownie.

Give a pie as a gift or have a slice after a busy day at work. Your contributions will go a long way in our efforts to feed DC metro residents. And remember: calories don’t count if it’s for charity.
