Keep Your #Eyes on the Pies!

Sweet Potato Comfort Pie: A Catalyst for Caring and Building Community

On Sunday, January 20th, we will celebrate 5 years of Sweet Potato Comfort Pie acting as a catalyst for caring and connection for the Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday of Service! You don’t want to miss the celebration at the new Brookview Community Center in Golden Valley, which marks the 90th birthday of Dr. King. Please register soon so we can hold a seat for you.

Talking about race is a tough subject. Does anyone really listen to you? We will distribute 90 pies in honor of Dr. King's 90th birthday. In the African American community, this simple, powerful act of preparing and sharing sweet potato pie is a revered practice for comforting people and strengthening relationships. Twin Cities' musicians will perform uplifting songs in the spirit of Ubuntu (I am who I am because of who WE are).

Please arrive a bit early for we must begin precisely at 2pm.

Donations can be made as you register - or to the Golden Valley Community Foundation for Sweet Potato Comfort Pie at: P.O. Box 27307, Golden Valley, MN 55437.
