Pies for Justice

The LA food community believes in encouraging and continuing positive engagement for the BIPOC community.

Join us for our annual Charity Pie Sale in celebration of Juneteenth.

 

Thank you for supporting our 2024 Pies for Justice Charity Pie Sale! Together we raised $14,520! 

This charity pie sale included LA’s best sweet and savory pie makers! Proceeds from this event were  donated to two incredible 501(c)3’s doing important work in service of the BIPOC community— Peace4Kids, a non-profit dedicated to building community with youth in foster care in South Los Angeles. And The Gathering for Justice, social justice organization for racial equity founded by the late Harry Belafonte. 

Gather for Good was proud to partner with ChowNow for this year’s Pies for Justice event! ChowNow is a leading online ordering platform and marketing service for local restaurants, offering customized online ordering systems and marketing support to expand restaurants' customer reach.

About Pies for Justice

Gather for Good believes that each and every one of us has the power to make our communities stronger when we work together.

Even if we aren’t all marching in the streets, we’ll continue to stand in solidarity against racial injustice. We pledge to keep learning, keep sharing and keep gathering for good. Since 2020, we raised over $68K with chefs across Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego. With all your favorite pastry chefs, bakers, restaurant owners, farmers and foodies — we are here to make a stand, feed you delicious pies and support important orgs fighting for equity and justice in the BIPOC community.

For 4 years we’ve hosted online charity pie sales where the most talented chefs created a beautiful array of offerings spanning across multiple counties to all stand together on this mission. We wouldn’t be able to make Pies for Justice a success year after year without the generous support of our chefs, business owners, farmers and purveyors. And thank you to all our supporters and patrons! Take a look at our wonderful past events below!


THE IMPORTANCE OF JUNETEENTH

Every year pies for justice is hosted in celebration of juneteenth. this is a time for people to come together and recognize the importance of this holiday.

JUNETEENTH MARKS THE DATE OF JUNE 19TH, 1865, WHEN GEN. GORDON GRANGER OF THE UNION ARMY ARRIVED IN GALVESTON TEXAS, TO DEMAND THAT SLAVES BE SET FREE. TEXAS WAS ONE OF THE LAST STATES WHERE SLAVERY ENDURED DESPITE PRESIDENT LINCOLN SIGNING THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION IN 1863. FOLLOWING GRANGER’S ANNOUNCEMENT, THE FORMERLY ENSLAVED AFRICAN AMERICANS BROKE INTO CELEBRATION.

TODAY THAT CELEBRATION, SAID TO BE THE OLDEST BLACK AMERICAN HOLIDAY, IS KNOWN AS JUNETEENTH. AFRICAN AMERICANS NOT ONLY CELEBRATED THEIR FREEDOM BUT THEY ALSO EXERCISED THEIR NEW RIGHTS BY BUYING LAND ACROSS TEXAS. LEARN MORE ABOUT JUNETEENTH HERE.
