PIES, PIES, PIES!
It’s been too long since we’ve chatted so where do we begin?
Well – we were just given 666 pounds of potatoes, our incredibly generous pork farmers have once again given us 600 pounds of beautiful pork, and a tiny, super yummy bakery in Harley Ontario is happily going to make ALL our pie crusts this year from scratch, at cost!
Our local Sobeys and No Frills, with huge joy, have consented to us putting up massive, 6 X 8 foot signs directly in front of their stores advertising our pies!
A packaging company in Woodstock sold us our pie boxes for close to nothing, we have put up beautiful posters all over town and beyond, and by November 1st there will be 50 yard signs strategically placed throughout Paris, and oh, the potato farmer thinks he can finagle us 400 pounds of apples, so, the pie adventure is in full swing!
We’re still praying in 600 pounds of chicken and 400 pounds of carrots and have no doubt that our faithful God will indeed provide, because He loves those hungry bellies in Haiti and right here in Ontario infinitely more than we ever could!
Our goal is to make 2000 pies because the need has never been more desperate and with your help – WE WILL!
Remember – you don’t have to buy a pie for yourself – you can DONATE it back to us and when you do you will get a tax receipt – AND we will get to give it away to one of these three places -
THE FOOD BANK run out of Cedarview Church in Paris that is a lifeline to so, so many!
RIVERSIDE 83 that operates one of the coolest and yummiest, inspired by Jesus, Cafés in Simcoe, that provides free meals six days a week to anyone whose struggling and also delivers meals to shut-ins, and operates a shelter for the Homeless!
SVET, who look after over one hundred Ukrainian and Russian families in the Kitchener-Waterloo area, that by the way have come to know our Jesus and now meet together every Sunday to worship Him together at the BASE Church!
Last year because of your generous hearts out of the almost 1700 pies we made, we were able to give away over 1300 of those pies to the hungry in our own backyard and oh, how we’d love to double that!
Like always – your $20 goes to help Ancy, help Haiti where the need is just staggering!
DREAM BIG WITH US trucks water into the prison twice a month so that over 1000 prisoners can have clean water to drink.
DREAM BIG WITH US feeds hundreds of kids and families that simply would not eat if Ancy didn’t feed them.
DREAM BIG WITH US provides PLUMPY MAMBA, a nutritious supplement that tastes like peanut butter to schools, to the prison, to the mental asylum and countless others in Nan Rasin. PLUMPY MAMBA is locally made by an amazing NGO in Haiti, that’s been around for two decades, called Food and Meds for Kids.
Like we say every year – YOU ARE NOT JUST BUYING A PIE – you are saving lives – here and in HAITI – so we THANK YOU in advance for buying a pie or dozens of pies!
We also thank Doug Pelton for donating to us once again, a 45 foot freezer truck along with all the fuel to keep it running for two weeks – and all our volunteers that so faithfully show up to be the hands of Jesus!
Living to make HIM famous one belly at a time,
