This week our office was filled with the sweet smell of apples, cherries and berries as we prepared for our annual “pie drive” for PWA. Pie in the Sky is an annual Thanksgiving fundraiser in support of the vital food programs of Toronto People With AIDS Foundation (PWA). Every year we purchase pies and deliver them to our favorite clients and suppliers as a thank you for their patronage and support throughout the year.
Incredibly, the proceeds of each pie bring a meal to ten people with HIV/AIDS – maybe the only nutritious meal they get. Every 15 minutes of every day, PWA provides a healthy meal to a homebound man, woman or child whose long term survival depends on proper nutrition.
So today’s idea is don’t forget about the charitable aspect when deciding on gifts for clients and colleagues at special times of the year.
There are so many national programs that you can support, but don’t overlook the smaller local charity that is just around your corner.
It is a great feeling knowing that you have been a part of helping someone - you can have your pie and eat it too.
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving
