SLICE OF LIFE is the only DC area pie sale allowing you to purchase your Thanksgiving pies while making an impact in the lives of thousands in need in your community. All proceeds from sales go to Food & Friends.

Food & Friends’ mission is to prepare and deliver specialized meals and groceries in conjunction with nutrition counseling to DC Area residents living with HIV/AIDS, cancer, and other life-challenging illnesses. This year alone, Food & Friends will deliver more than 1 million meals to more than 2,800 indivduals living in the DC area.

This large-scale bake sale is in its 4th year and not only allows you to purchase pies for you and your family, but also to complement the full Thanksgiving meals our clients will receive by purchasing a pie, or two, to be delivered with their holiday meal.

” Each  Pie  You  Buy  Will  Provide  One  Full  Day  of  Meals for  a  child  or  adult  battling  a  life-challenging  illness. “

Last year Dining in DC started a Thanksgiving tradition to support Food & Friends and the thousands of children and adults battling life-challenging illnesses in the DC community by participating in “Slice of Life”. In 2009, a team of fellow food bloggers and friends made up a dynamic sales team, “Food Bloggers for a Cause” and together raised over $1300.00 for this very special cause.

This year we hope to double our previous years’ sales! Please support my efforts by purchasing your pies today! You are also welcome to purchase a pie for a Food & Friend client, perfect for those heading out of town.
