Bloomingdale resident Corrine: Food & Friends is running its annual Slice of Life pie sale fundraiser

Hi Bloomingdale Friends,

As we approach the holidays, you may be thinking to yourself one of the following questions:
  • "DO I ACTUALLY HAVE TO COOK THINGS?!"
  • "I don't have a pie pan. HELP!?"
  • "I love baking pie. But...I could always use more pie...?!"
  • "Gotta catch 'em all, ALL THE PIES!"
Well, have I got good news for you! Food & Friends is running their annual Slice of Life pie sale fundraiser. Quick facts:

·  Buy your pie before 11/16
·  Pick up your pie on 11/21 from the location closest to you // if you have concerns about picking up your pie, chat with me, i got you
·  Bring pie to event and be loved (you can even claim you made it yourself!)
·  Consume pie <-- best="" span="" step="">

Flavors include:
  • Spiced Pumpkin
  • Apple Pie
  • Sweet Potato
  • Nutty Pecan
  • American Airlines Sky Pie <--- but="" chocolate="" idk="" it="" liquor="" s="" so...="" span="">
Also, I have EATEN THESE PIES MANY TIMES. They are dang delish.

For each pie that you buy, you'll be sending a meal to a real human in DC (aka your neighbor!) who is suffering from a terminal/disabling illness that makes it difficult to get out of the house, go to the grocery store, and make healthy meals. 

I have spent time in Food & Friends kitchen -- they are an incredible group of staff and volunteers that pour a lot of love and consideration into the meals, which are designed to be super duper healthy AND delicious for these fine folks. 

So, a final appeal: please consider purchasing your Thanksgiving* pie from them. While I know $28 might seem hefty for a pie, you're really doing so much more than that...and the tasty dessert is just the whipped cream on top!**

Thanks for considering! And please feel free to forward to coworkers, friends, enemies, and whatnot.

*not required to eat for Thanksgiving -- also perfectly delicious eaten alone, while binge watching Crazy Ex Girlfriend and/or sports.

**really sorry about this joke, couldn't help myself.
