Charitable Indulgence (and pastries)!
“If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe.” -Dr. Carl Sagan
At last, pastry and philanthropy have united to form one fabulous promotion: the Slice of Life pie sale!
Now in its’ third year, Slice of Life is essentially a large-scale bake sale! All proceeds from the event go directly to Food & Friends, a volunteer organization that prepares and delivers meals and groceries to DC-area residents living with HIV/AIDS, cancer, and other life-challenging illnesses. In 2008, Food & Friends served over 913,036 meals!
