Neighbor to Neighbor hosts fundraiser
Neighbor to Neighbor Inc., 1419 S. Pine St., is having its second-annual fall fried pie fundraiser Nov. 18.
“These delicious, homemade pies come to us from Flywheel Pies in Prescott,” according to a news release. “Flywheel is a nonprofit organization that provides jobs for the mentally handicapped. All pies are made fresh daily and are hand-delivered before the sale. Because of this, Flywheel requests that all orders be placed two weeks in advance; therefore, we need to place our order by Nov. 1.”
Pies are sold as one box (six pies/one flavor) for $15 or two boxes (1 dozen/one or two flavors) for $25.
Pick up day is set from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 18 at Neighbor to Neighbor. Frozen pie orders only may be picked up between 9 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. after Nov. 16, according to the release.
Independent reporting for Pine Bluff & Jefferson County since 1879.
Order forms can be found on Facebook at N2NJeffco. People may call or stop by the office to make credit card purchases.
