SAN DIEGO — Mama’s Pies Thanksgiving Bake Sale benefits Mama’s Kitchen, a community-driven organization that provides nutrition services improving the lives of women, men and children vulnerable to hunger due to illnesses. These include HIV, cancer, congestive heart failure and Type II diabetes.
In 2018, the annual fundraiser met its fundraising goal by raising $140,000 during the six-week sales period. However, these pie enthusiasts are hoping to up their game this year. For the 2019 holiday season, the nonprofit hopes to surpass that goal by raising $150,000 to fund 51,000 meals.
You can buy a delicious apple, pumpkin, pecan or dutch apple for $25. They're available online here through Nov. 24. The pies are generously donated from some of San Diego's top bakeries.
Volunteers will deliver the pies, which are available for pickup at 20 different San Diego locations on Nov. 27.
