Pies for Purpose

Freshly-baked Lattice Pie Announcing Pies for Purpose Fundraiser by Oakland Uptown Rotary

Order Pies Here: OUR Pies for Purpose Order Form

Oakland Uptown Rotary (OUR) club is proud to invite you to participate in our inaugural Pies For Purpose event. This is your opportunity to purchase pies for your Thanksgiving holiday meal and to donate pies to brighten the holiday meal of those in need.  Spread a little joy through dessert at your table or someone else’s.

We have partnered with Uhuru Bakery to help us fulfill this year’s pie orders.  And we have partnered with 2 local organizations to be OUR Recipients of Pies. Last year for Thanksgiving 2022, our club was able to donate 200 pies total amongst 3 non-profits in our community. For 2023, we are gifting pies through the following non-profits:

Davis Street Community Center

Their ability to provide a full range of necessary services, from medical care and child care to food and clothing, is unique from any other local organization.
