Buy a Pie, Feed Others this Thanksgiving
The Nov. 20 deadline is fast approaching for buying a holiday pie from the Winthrop Community Food Pantry at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Winthrop. Delicious Apple, Pecan, and Pumpkin pies are on sale, with all proceeds benefitting Community Servings, a local non-profit that delivers healthy meals to critically ill, homebound individuals in Winthrop and throughout eastern Massachusetts.
Pies cost $35 and are prepared by some of Boston’s top chefs – best of all, each pie sold will fund an entire week’s worth of nutritious, home-delivered meals to a person who is too ill to shop or cook for themselves.
Please order pies online at www.WinthropPies.com. Supplies are limited, so please place your order soon!
All orders will be available for pick up Tuesday, Nov. 26, between 1-6 pm, at St. John’s Episcopal Church Parish Hall, 222 Bowdoin St., Winthrop.
