MANNA Pie in the Sky 2009

Each month, MANNA (Metropolitan Area Neighborhood Nutrition Alliance) prepares more than 65,000 delicious, nutritious home-delivered meals for individuals and families living with HIV/AIDS, cancer or other life-threatening illnesses. MANNA's small professional staff and 1,000 dedicated volunteers deliver 100% complete nutrition to their clients - 3 meals a day, 7 days a week - at no charge. MANNA dietitians promote wellness through nutrition education and counseling. Every day, people at acute nutritional risk from life-threatening illnesses count on them to deliver delicious, nourishing meals along with counsel and hope. By buying pies, YOU help MANNA continue to provide this vital, free service to people living with life-threatening illnesses right here in the greater Philadelphia region.

Buy a pie and a MANNA client will be delivered six life-sustaining meals. It doesn't get any sweeter than that. This year marks the 13th anniversary of the Pie in the Sky fundraiser! Help MANNA celebrate a baker’s dozen of delicious years by purchasing gourmet pies!

Since the beginning of November, tasting events have been the fashionable craze around these parts, but if you’ve been unable to make one you still have time to order. Can’t decide which pie to buy to woo your family and friends this Thanksgiving? I ask you but one question: Can you say “Chocolate Ganache Cheesecake?” We can. And yes, it tastes as good as one can imagine. Actually, scratch that – it tastes better than one can imagine. As an added bonus, with the purchase of just one of the aforementioned cheesecake pies, you’re entered to win the US Airways $1,000 raffle. In addition to the Chocolate Ganache Cheesecake, take your pick of Pumpkin, Pecan, Apple Crumb, and Sweet Potato.

So buy one, or two, or (as in our case) three; you can’t go wrong with tax-deductible gourmet pie for a great charity.
