Along the Coast: Sales of pies help feed homebound

By Linda Haase

    Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa’s pastry chef Robert Bellini is gathering sumptuous ingredients for a very special pie. Make that 100 special pies.  
    He and other chefs — including those at Table 26, Boca Grove Golf & Tennis Club, Four Seasons Palm Beach, Mar-a-Lago Club, Howley’s, Whole Foods Market and Testa’s — are donating their time and talent to “Palm Beach County’s Biggest Thanksgiving Pie Sale” hosted by Meals on Wheels of The Palm Beaches.  
    The Pie It Forward campaign, which runs through Nov. 14, unites local chefs and philanthropists — including sponsors Bank of America, TBC Corp., Bush Brothers Provision Company and Suffolk Construction — in support of Meals on Wheels’ mission to feed homebound seniors.  
    Apple, pecan and pumpkin pies can be purchased online at www.mowpb.org and picked up at the Palm Beach County Convention Center Nov. 24. Each pie costs $25 and will feed one homebound senior a week of hot, nutritious meals.  
    “Pie It Forward is built on community spirit. From local businesses to local chefs and our incredible pie selling teams, it has been so exciting watching the community come together for the common goal of supporting Meals on Wheels of The Palm Beaches,” says Maura Nelson, Pie It Forward campaign director.   
    Every bite will help. Meals on Wheels of The Palm Beaches, which expects to deliver at least 25,000 meals to seniors who are homebound in areas including West Palm Beach, North Palm Beach and eastern Lake Worth this year, doesn’t receive any government funding and relies on grants and donations.

Pie It Forward
What: Pie It Forward, hosted by Meals on Wheels of The Palm Beaches. Pies are $25 and each purchase will provide a homebound senior with a week of hot, nutritious meals.  
When: Through Nov. 14.
For more information: Pumpkin, pecan and apple pies can be ordered online at www.mowpb.org.
