Do good, feel good, buy pies!
Food & Friends’ annual Thanksgiving pie sale and fundraiser, Slice of Life is happening now through November 15!
Each pie purchased through Slice of Life provides one full day of medically tailored meals for Washington, D.C. area neighbors battling cancer, HIV/AIDS, diabetes, or other serious illnesses.
Local favorite Whisked! by Jenna is teaming up with Food & Friends again this year as their official pie partner. Each pie is handmade, and ingredients are sourced from farms close to the region. The gourmet pies are available in five delicious flavors: Apple Crumble, Classic Pumpkin, Sweet Potato, Nutty Pecan, and a decadent Sea Salt Chocolate Chess. Pie prices start at $30.
Pre-purchased pies can be picked up on Tuesday, November 21 at dozens of convenient locations throughout the D.C. metro region. Call Your Mother Deli is partnering with Food & Friends again this year, so you can plan to grab a delicious bagel sandwich and coffee when you pick up your pies. You deserve it!
All pies are 9″ rounds and packaged in a sturdy, gift-quality box. Purchasers can also donate a pie to a Food & Friends client, to be delivered to their doors by caring volunteers on Thanksgiving Day, along with a beautiful complete turkey dinner. Food & Friends home-delivers freshly prepared medically tailored meals to people with life-challenging illnesses and their dependents year-round, but Thanksgiving is a special tradition where they send a traditional feast to be shared with families.
76% of the individuals served by Food & Friends have a household income of less than $1,500 per month. Slice of Life is a great way to have a direct impact in providing relief for families in our region who are not only experiencing the hardships of a serious illness but also facing nutrition insecurity.
Community members throughout the area with serious health challenges depend on Food & Friends for their meals, six days a week. Food & Friends is a leading member of the national Food Is Medicine Coalition, a network of direct-service nonprofits who provide medically tailored meals and nutrition therapy to adults and children living with serious illnesses. Food & Friends’ staff and volunteers expect to deliver more than 1.9 million meals in 2023.
Just by buying a delicious pie, you will help a local family in need during this season of gratitude. Place an order at sliceoflifedc.org/shopping-cart or call (202) 269-6826 to help Food & Friends bring holiday cheer to those who need it the most.
Pie sales close on Wednesday, November 15 and more information about Slice of Life is available at sliceoflifedc.org.

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!
Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.
Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
