6 PHILADELPHIA FREE PRESS • UC REVIEW • NOVEMBER 18, 2015 T


hanksgiving is only a few days away and it would be a very bar-


ren occasion for thousands of Philadelphians with life-threatening illnesses if it weren’t for MANNA’s annual Pie in the Sky pro- motion. This is the chance to buy a choice of fi ve diff erent kinds of homemade pies for a moderate price and each


pie sold provides a holiday meal for four deserving people. MANNA (Metro- politan Area Neighborhood Nutrition Alliance) pre- pares and home-delivers each month more than 75,000 nourishing meals prepared by a small profes- sional staff and 2,600 dedi- cated volunteers, entirely free. Contributions are


accepted year-round but the deadline for ordering pies is Nov. 20 with pick- up locations throughout the city, the suburbs and in NJ. Details at 215-496-2662 or www.mannapies.org for locations and fl avors. What a stupendous way to give thanks and make others happy! ›
