San Diego’s Largest Bake Sale Benefits Mama's Kitchen
Mama’s Pie in the Sky 2006 benefits local men, women and children living with AIDS/HIV and other critical illnesses; Sale begins Oct. 18
SAN DIEGO - Mama's Kitchen announces the return of Mama’s Pie In The Sky, a Thanksgiving bake sale. From October 18 to November 15, volunteers will sell delectable holiday pies through businesses, schools and organizations all over San Diego County.
The Mama’s Pie in Sky bake sale helps Mama’s Kitchen make up for some of the loss in government funding they’ve experienced this year. San Diego County’s best pastry chefs, caterers and bakeries will again donate thousands of delicious pumpkin, pecan and apple pies to the effort. In 2006, Mama's Kitchen hopes to raise $100,000 to directly fund thousands of free, hot nutritious meals and help ensure that no one living with HIV/AIDS or other critical illnesses in the community will go hungry. Mama's Kitchen has never turned away anyone in need of help and the net proceeds of this year’s Mama’s Pie in the Sky program will enable her to keep her promise.
It is easy as pie to support the Mama’s Pie in the Sky bake sale and make good things happen for everyone during Thanksgiving and throughout the year. Visit http://www.mamaskitchen.org or call 619-233-6262 to learn more how you can purchase pies this year. The pies will be available for pick-up at many convenient locations on Wednesday, November 22.
About Mama's Kitchen
Mama's Kitchen was founded in 1990 when volunteers from the AIDS Assistance Fund, a food bank for people with AIDS, discovered that many of their clients were becoming too ill to take care of themselves. They realized that a reliable home meal delivery service was needed to ensure that these individuals would continue to receive nutritious food. Today, Mama's Kitchen prepares and delivers three meals a day for every day of the week to about 300 men, women, and children affected by AIDS or other critical illnesses in San Diego County. Mama’s Kitchen is located at 1875 Second Avenue, San Diego, CA 92101. For more information, visit http://www.mamaskitchen.org.
