Pie In The Sky! 2014

Community Servings is a free, home‐delivery meals program for the acutely ill, their families and their caregivers throughout Massachusetts who are battling 35 types of illnesses including HIV/ AIDS, Cancer, Lupus, Diabetes and MS. Since 1989, Community Servings’ founding goals are to help clients maintain their health and dignity, provide nutritionally and culturally appropriate meals, preserve the integrity of their family… and send the message that someone cares.

Each pie we sell provides one week of healthy meals to a person in need.

This is my sixth year participating in this fundraiser as part of the Pie It Forward team — the number 1 pie selling team in 2011, 2012 and 2013. Thanks to many of you, I was one of the top 5 sellers last year.

Please consider purchasing a Thanksgiving pie ($28) in support of Community Servings. You can visit my personal donation page for more information and to place an order.

Donate Food with Big Foot Moving and Move For Hunger

Fact: More than 727,000 people in the state of Massachusetts are living on incomes that put them at risk of hunger each year. Thirty-six percent of those at risk are children. With times getting tighter these numbers are dramatically increasing. Thousands in our community need your help.

As you are aware, many people throw out a good deal of “stuff” when they move. Unfortunately a lot of this “stuff” is food that can be delivered to a family in need. That’s why Big Foot Moving & Storage, Inc. has teamed up with Move For Hunger to support the Arlington Food Pantry.

Please set aside any unwanted, non-perishable food items before your move and Big Foot Moving & Storage, Inc. will deliver the food to the Arlington Food Pantry.

Move For Hunger is a non-profit organization that works with the relocation industry to support the efforts of local food banks. Your donations will directly impact families living right here in Massachusetts. Big Foot Moving & Storage, Inc. is grateful for your business and truly thankful for your generosity.

Sincerely,
Mike Bavuso President/CEO

Big Foot Helps Neighboring Children’s Room

Last week, Big Foot Moving & Storage donated moving and storage services to The Children’s Room (TCR) for their renovation project. The Children’s Room will be refurbishing the garage and cellar areas and utilize the space as the garden level. After the completed renovations, the Big Foot team will then relocate the TCR staff to new garden level offices. This move to the new space will create a much needed additional program and training space within the facility. The project will be completed by the end of the summer.

The Children’s Room is the largest independent, non-profit organization in Massachusetts dedicated to creating safe, supportive communities so that no child, teen or family has to grieve alone. Learn more about TCR, who they are, and how you can be a part of our unique community, please visit http://childrensroom.org/about. Big Foot Moving & Storage, Inc. is proud to offer assistance to The Children’s Room as they continue to help grieving children, teens, and families in our communities to go on living fully.
