are teaming up again this year to sell

THANKSGIVING PIES TO BENEFIT COMMUNITY SERVINGS

The Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage office in Duxbury will help to sell Thanksgiving pies to benefit Community Servings.

For every pie sold, Community Servings will be able to feed one client for five days. 

Apple, pecan, pumpkin, sweet potato, and no sugar added apple pies will be sold for $25 each as part of Community Servings annual “Pie in the Sky” fundraiser.  

More than 150 of Greater Boston’s top restaurants and caterers, including Alma Nove, Blue Ginger, Flour Bakery & Café, Harvest, Mistral, Smith & Wollensky, The Capital Grille, and Upstairs on the Square, are preparing and donating pies. 

Pies can be ordered by calling the Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage office in Duxbury at (781) 934-6995, or by visiting http://pieinthesky.org/event/pies/ and entering 763 as the Pie Seller Number!

Brad,  I heard about this from my friend who is also a Realtor in the Boston area.  I am amazed at how much money is raised and how many families are fed with this program.  It just proves what can be done with collaboration and shared goals.

Brad, how nice that all of these local businesses team up and rally together for a cause.  Your brokerage makes a huge donation. It is difficult to believe that the proceeds from one pie can feed a client for five days.  That really makes us realize how fortunate we are to have so much food on our tables.
