Help Us Put a Pie on Every Thanksgiving Table | The Jarboe Foundation

Since 2013, The Jarboe Foundation has included a full-size pie in nearly every Thanksgiving meal we deliver, thanks to Table Talk Pies in Worcester. This year we need a new bakery partner or donor for at least 200 pies. Each meal costs $50 per family and includes a grocery gift card, stuffing, green bean casserole fixings (green beans, cream of mushroom soup, crispy onions), gravy, cranberry sauce, cornbread mix, a pound of butter, and fresh produce (potatoes, onions, carrots, apples, oranges, bananas, depending on inventory).

Why We Swapped Thanksgiving Turkeys for Grocery Gift Cards

Alicia Jarboe explains why The Jarboe Foundation replaced whole turkeys with grocery gift cards in our Thanksgiving meals: easier logistics for volunteers and more choice for families. Since 2013 we have delivered Thanksgiving meals to families in Worcester, Massachusetts.
