It Takes a Village to Make a Pie!
The Community Engagement Committee of the Alberta Co-op presents our 3rd annual pie event! This year, we’re celebrating the diverse skills, resources, and knowledge that come together in our community to make amazing and delicious things happen. On 11/7, neighbors got together to make a bunch of dough for pie crust, and now it’s time for Part 2: Filling the Pie!
Tuesday, November 15th
6:30 – 8:30
Redeemer Lutheran Church, NE 20th & Killingsworth
We’re inviting organizations and individuals to contribute pie fillings, pans, spices, whipping cream, whatever you have, and we’ll whip up some pies together. Whether you have berries in your freezer from summer picking or set some apples aside from a harvest party with the Portland Fruit Tree Project, bring it along and turn it into a feast with some help from your neighbors. If you’re bringing winter squash, please bring it already baked. Contributions for savory pies as well as sweet are encouraged! We hope to all enjoy some pie at the event and send some pies home with participants.
RSVP to community_engagement@albertagrocery.coop with what you’d like to bring.
