More than just a simple fundraiser, Pie in the Sky has been
assisting those in Eastern Massachusetts since 1993. Every November
volunteers from all over Eastern Massachusetts become pie sellers,
with proceeds benefiting the critically ill.
Our own Matthew Gaskill and
Alisa Peterson are
participating as pie sellers in this years fundraiser. Heres how it
works: Each pie costs the buyer $25. Each pie guarantees an entire
weeks worth of delicious and healthy meals to our neighbors who are
critically ill and in need of food and assistance.
These ill individuals are clients of Community Servings, an organization that
specializes in cost-effective ways to prepare and deliver a warm
lunch, dinner and snack every year to sick clients. On the day
before Thanksgiving, each generous donor will be pick up their pie
here at Gibson Sotheby’s at 597A
Tremont in the South End or at the
location of their choice. There are roughly 150 bakers and
restaurants who will be constructing these fabulous pies from all
over the Greater Boston Area. Many varieties are available to
choose from including apple, non-sugar apple, pecan, pumpkin and
sweet potato.
In a typical year, 1,300 homebound people of all ages from 17
different communities within Massachusetts are blessed because of
our help. $0.90 of every $1.00 raised during the 2010 pie sale went
to feeding Community Servings clients.
There is no better way to enjoy a homemade tasting pie made with
love than with your friends and family. This important time is even
more special when we extend the lesson to all of those close to us
that there are others struggling on Thanksgiving, and that by us
lending a helping hand, we are graciously displaying the true
meaning of the holiday.
Matthew, Alisa and the rest of
Gibson Sothebys International Realty team would like to wish
everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! For further information on how this
process works, the extended history on Pie in the Sky or Community
