Marblehead Realtors selling Thanksgiving pies to help the ill

The Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage office in Marblehead will help to sell Thanksgiving pies prepared and donated by more than 150 of Greater Boston’s top restaurants and caterers, including Aquitaine, Blue Ginger, Flour Bakery Café, Harvest, Mistral, Sel De La Terre, The Capital Grille and Upstairs on the Square.

Apple, pecan, pumpkin, sweet potato, and diabetic apple pies will be sold for $25 each to benefit the clients of Community Servings as part of its annual “Pie in the Sky” fundraiser.

Community Servings is a nonprofit organization that provides free, home-delivered meals to acutely ill individuals, their families and their caregivers in 18 cities and towns throughout Massachusetts. For every pie sold, Community Servings will be able to feed one client for five days.

This is the 20th anniversary of Pie in the Sky. Last year, Coldwell Banker Residential helped to raise $550,000 to feed individuals and families who are ill with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other life-threatening illnesses — with 93 cents of every dollar raised going directly to providing meals.

Pie sales are taking place now and will continue through Saturday, Nov. 17. Pies can be ordered by calling Dee Johnson, Realtor, at 781-307-2940, or Shelley Sloboder, Realtor, at 508-237-7735, or by visiting pieinthesky.org and entering Dee Johnson or Shelley Sloboder as your pie seller.

Although Salem is the nearest official pickup location listed on the website, Johnson and Sloboder will be bringing the pies listed under these two pie sellers back to Marblehead for pick up. Pies will be available for pick up on Wednesday, Nov. 21 at the Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage office at 2 Atlantic Ave. from noon to 2 p.m. and 5-7 p.m.

Community Servings is Eastern Massachusetts’ only free, home-delivered meals program for families and individuals with HIV/AIDS and other acute life-threatening illnesses. Each day, Community Servings delivers a nutritious lunch, dinner and a snack to 800 men, women and children too ill to shop or cook for themselves.
