Community Servings is a local organization feeding meals to those in need who are critically ill. They serve the Dedham community and surrounding local cities/towns that range from Boston to Worcester.
Today, their clients are experiencing a range of critical and chronic illnesses - including cancer, and end stage renal disease. They are a non profit meal delivery service delivering HEALTHY healing meals. The food is from scratch and 'medically' tailored " with their motto being "food heals'. Most of clients are on food stamps (EBT) and also live below federal poverty level. And they need your help. Over several decades and with support from generous Boston-local area chefs, bakers, they have donated 25, 000 Thanksgiving pies, hence the annual fund raiser by this organization is called Pie in the Sky.
We now know when patients eat well, they have greater capacity to heal. But what happens when you don't have means to cook, yet , can eat ? that is where YOU come in-residents of Dedham.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Each $37 pie sale or donation provides a week of medically- tailored meals to those in our community whom are sick and in need. Not only will you feed a sick client a fresh Thanksgiving dinner, a pie, and ALL their meals for one week, but you also get a PIE! -for this one price.
We highly recommend you still support your local baker ' this holiday season. And by all means, still bake your own yummy family pie! ----But remember our pies FEED
someone in need ----. Isnt that what Thanksgiving is all about? Giving back.
Note: If you are traveling and are not in need of your pie but still want to donate, you can. Many of our regular pie buyers donate their pie every year (vs ordering themselves
a pie). Each single pie order gets you a pie (plus feeds a family in need) . Its that simple. Why buy a pie?
You can do EVERYTHING online. It's easy as PIE!
It's life-changing:
In exchange for your $37 donation, the price of one pie, you will provide a week's worth of holidays meals wk of Thanksgiving to a neighbor living with a critical illness.
Our medically tailored meals program is the largest of its kind in New England, providing free, home-delivered meals and nutrition services to more than 5,000 clients across all of Massachusetts.
Over the next year, we will provide close to 1.5 M meals to those in need. More than $.94 of every $1 raised goes directly to individuals unable to shop or cook for themselves and their families. Deadline to order is Sat Nov 21 nd th by 6 pm.
Beware: we sold out last 3 years, so order now!
