‘Buy a Pie, Give a Pie’ Brings Delicious Holiday Cheer to Dozens of Food Banks
Carlsbad, CA (PRWEB) November 17, 2011
Fresh-baked pies from Coco’s and Carrows have become a holiday tradition for thousands of families and their loved ones. Now, restaurant diners will have a chance to sweeten the holiday season by donating “fresh from the oven” pies to those in need. Charitable givers will be recognized with “donation pie” placards prominently displayed in each restaurant. Coco’s and Carrows will bake the donated pies for pick-up by local food banks.
Baked fresh every day, a holiday is not complete without a homemade pie from Coco’s or Carrows adorning the table. The Pies for a Purpose program allows guests to bring the delicious, comforting warmth of a holiday pie to those less fortunate in their community.
To support the Pies for a Purpose program, special holiday deals are being offered at all Coco’s and Carrows locations, including:
- Our scrumptious Pumpkin Pie for only $6.99 (Coco’s and Carrows)
- Our signature Harvest Pie, a treasured mainstay for more than 20 years (Coco’s)
* A wide selection of other holiday favorites, including the Dutch Apple Pie (Coco’s), Pecan Pie (Coco’s and Carrows) and other seasonal favorites
As more Americans rely on charitable donations and hunger relief organizations to provide for their families during these tough economic times, Coco’s and Carrows restaurants—through the generous support of their customers—are filling a much-needed gap by contributing pies to more than 70 food banks in the Western states.
“At a time when one in six Americans, and nearly one in four children, struggle with hunger, we all have neighbors who are suffering,” says Sue Sigler, executive director of the California Association of Food Banks. “Having a pie as part of a holiday dinner is very meaningful in those homes. We are very grateful to all of those who choose to share with others in need.”
