Pie in the Sky pies
Eat, think, and help someone else be merry
BY TAMARA WIEDER

  PREVIOUS COLUMNS

We here at " Noshing " don’t usually write about things we haven’t actually laid mouths on. But there are exceptions, as in the case of the Pie in the Sky benefit, held annually by Roxbury-based Community Servings. We can’t attest to the tastiness of the pies — though considering that many of Boston’s top pastry chefs (including those from Ambrosia, Clio, Mistral, and Rialto) are doing the baking, it practically goes without saying that they’re going to be good — but we can attest to the cause: every $20 pie purchase provides a Thanksgiving feast to a family living with AIDS. Last year, Pie in the Sky sold more than 11,000 pies, raising more than $320,000 for the cause. This year, the pies — which come in apple, pecan, sweet potato, pumpkin, kosher apple, and diabetic apple — can be ordered until November 15, and will be available for pick-up on November 27 at a host of locations across the region. Charity never tasted so sweet.

Pie in the Sky pies are available for $20 at (617) 445-7777, or online at www.pieinthesky.org

Issue Date: November 7 - 14, 2002
