Mama’s Kitchen, a nonprofit that delivers healthy meals at no cost to San Diegans affected by HIV/AIDS or cancer, has kicked off its seventh annual Mama’s Pie in the Sky Thanksgiving Bake Sale. Through November 20, purchase fresh pumpkin, pecan, apple, and no-sugar-added apple pies for just $20 each, with $15 from each pie being tax deductible. Pies will be available for pick-up the day before Thanksgiving on Wednesday, November 23, at more than 20 Wells Fargo Bank branch locations throughout the county.
Each pie sold provides more than six home-delivered meals to a neighbor struggling with a critical illness. “When you buy a pie you provide nutritious meals, comfort, and hope to fellow community members affected by AIDS or cancer,” notes Alberto Cortés, executive director of Mama’s Kitchen.
This year, the popular Love-A-Client pie raffle returns. Purchase a pie to be delivered to a Mama’s Kitchen client and enter to win a 64GB iPad2. This year’s pie bakers include Sbicca, SeaWorld, The French Gourmet, Elizabethan Desserts, Sycuan Casino, Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine, San Diego Culinary Institute, and many more. Pies can be purchased online or by phone. (619/233-6262, www.mamaspies.org) JANE SHIOMI
