Thanksgiving 2009
Provide a meal to 10 people living with HIV/AIDS
by purchasing a delicious apple or pumpkin pie
made by one of the best restaurants or hotels in Toronto.

Each pie is baked by a chef at one of Toronto's best restaurants and hotels.

A $35 pie provides ten meals to a person living with HIV/AIDS, whose long term survival depends on proper nutrition. Last year we provided over 30,000 meals.

This exciting event and urgent cause have attracted chefs from such celebrated restaurants as Daniel et Daniel and Canoe . Buy your pie today for a delicious dessert and create a worthy conversation piece at your Thanksgiving celebration.


How it Works

At any given time, hundreds of people living with HIV/AIDS in Toronto do not receive the nutrition their bodies need. HIV/AIDS can deplete a person's financial, emotional and physical resources making it difficult to perform necessary, daily functions like cooking and eating. The virus itself impacts the body's ability to properly absorb and utilize nutrition. Good nutrition facilitates healing and recovery, replenishes the body with important nutrients and helps maximize the benefits of medical treatment. Simply eating a meal a day can make medications and harsh treatments more tolerable.

“When I first started using the services at PWA, I had all 3 kids living with me. I believe that the food bank kept me alive at times … and kept me and my family together.”

“Rather than feel guilty about not baking my own Thanksgiving dessert,
I feel great about all the good that my delicious Pie in the Sky does.
And so do my guests.”

Pie in the Sky originated in Boston in 1992, as a fundraiser for Community Servings and has since become one of Boston's premier annual events. To learn more about Community Servings, please visit their website at www.servings.org.
