Buttermilk Sky Pie Shop in Colleyville, owned by two GRACE supporters, Jason and Sheila Ridley, chose GRACE as the benefactor for July’s ‘Pie It Forward’ initiative. A portion of the proceeds from each peach pie sold in July (9-inch and 4-inch) went to support GRACE Back to School, which took place the first weekend of August.
When asked, Sheila said “We consider it an honor to help GRACE in any way possible. The ‘Pie It Forward’ program is a small way that we can connect our community with GRACE. In the process, we have an opportunity to donate for the great work GRACE is doing providing back-to-school supplies for those in need.”
Thank you Sheila and Jason for keeping GRACE close to your heart and choosing GRACE as the recipient of July’s Pie It Forward. Also, a huge thank you to our community who bought pies. Many of you enjoyed pie, staff included, and GRACE is happy to report that the Pie It Forward program was a success and greatly contributed to the preparation of our back to school event.
Every year, GRACE partners with GCISD to provide students in all grade levels with the necessary materials for school success. Backpacks, notebooks, pencils, markers…the list goes on! Purchasing all of these items at once can really add up and place a burden on families, especially those with multiple school-aged children.
