All United Supermarkets, Market Street and Amigos locations in the Lubbock area will host the 25th annual ‘Easy as Pie’ fundraiser, which will directly benefit Lubbock Meals on Wheels. Beginning Friday, Nov. 11 through Saturday, Nov. 19, guests will have the opportunity to give a monetary donation in support of the local organization.
Guests have the opportunity to donate $5 to receive a coupon for a Sara Lee pie, which are redeemable at any United Supermarkets, Market Street or Amigos locations through Dec. 31, 2016. Guests can add the $5 donation during checkout or donate at the volunteer stations located in each store.
“Our team at The United Family is thrilled to participate in the 25th annual Easy as Pie fundraising event and we’re proud to support an organization that does so much in the Lubbock community,” said Mary Myers, communications and community relations manager for The United Family. “The holidays are quickly approaching, which means pie season is right around the corner. We can’t think of a better way to kick it off than with a pie eating contest with our friends, family and guests.”
The fundraising event kicks off with a celebrity pie eating contest at 12 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 11 at the United Supermarkets at 8010 Frankford Avenue. This event is open to the public and guests are encouraged to attend and cheer on the contestants.
Lubbock Meals on Wheels is committed to helping people remain in their homes, while being well fed and independent for as long as possible. The organization needs more than 300 volunteers throughout the fundraising event to help collect donations and pass out pie coupons.
