Mama’s Kitchen ‘Pie Central’ to Distribute More Than 3,000 Pies for Thanksgiving
Mama's Kitchen, an organization that provides medically-tailored meals to those in need, is transforming Behind the Scenes Catering and Events to "Pie Central," where volunteers will package thousands of pies and deliver to pick-up sites around the county.
San Diego’s largest bake sale, Mama’s Pies, is celebrating its 20th annual Thanksgiving bake sale by distributing over 3,000 pies across the county to be picked up at various locations on Nov. 27.
Pie sales concluded online on Nov. 22, but any left in stock will be sold at select pick-up locations — to-be-determined — throughout San Diego.
Mama’s Kitchen, a nonprofit organization that provides medically-tailored meals to those in need, is transforming Behind the Scenes Catering and Events to “Pie Central,” where volunteers will package thousands of pies and deliver to pick-up sites around the county.
From the end of October through November, Mama’s Pies sold and collected pies in preparation for the distribution to help those in need.
Since 2004, the Thanksgiving bake sale has raised more than $2.2 million, selling an average of 3,000 pies a year.
In addition to the sales, donations are welcome. John Crisafulli, president and CEO of Behind the Scenes Catering, will match all donations up to $10,000.
Donations toward the pies can be made at mamaspies.org/donate to help the organization meet its goal.
Chefs, restaurants, bakeries and caterers across San Diego donated their time and talent to bake the Thanksgiving pies to help Mama’s Kitchen deliver breakfast, lunch and dinner to people with critical illnesses preventing them from preparing their meals.
Pies can be picked up from the pick-up locations from 10 a.m-5 p.m. on Nov. 27.
