VNA Texas’ Power of Pie Thanksgiving Fundraiser Returns

Comment Thanksgiving is just about two weeks away, y’all. Time to start thinking about your menu. VNA Texas , the state’s leading non-profit provider of hospice and palliative care services, which brings 5,300 daily meals to homebound seniors, will handle dessert for you. The agency’s Power of Pie bake sale is live and is accepting orders until November 20. Pecan pie, pumpkin pie, and pumpkin bread are baked with love and donated by local bakeries including Central Market, Sugar & Sage, Northwood Club, La Duni, Crown Block, and others. They can be ordered online and picked up on November 24 and 25 at a dozen locations throughout North Texas. Each pie costs $30, and pumpkin bread is $15 per loaf; truly a bargain. The New York Times recently ran an article about some fancy pants pies in New York costing as much as $150 each. Nothing humble about that. If you want to support the cause but not buy a pie, no problem. Just make a donation. Last year, the Power of Pie brought in $77,000 to help fund the community healthcare that VNA has been providing since 1934. Order your pies and bread here . Pro tip: If you order the bread, go ahead and whip yourself up some brown sugar-cinnamon butter to slather all over over it. Power of Pie’s presenting sponsor is Interabang Books. Other sponsors include Empire Baking Company, Central Market, St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church, and Ventura Foods. Please see the full list of sponsors and bakeries who donated and share your gratitude for their generousity.
