The Peppermill’s ninth annual “Pie It Forward” bake sale took place Sunday, Nov. 24, to benefit the Food Bank of Northern Nevada. Guests were able to purchase pumpkin pies for $7, with the Food Bank receiving 100% of the proceeds.
Collin Alldredge, director of special events at the Peppermill, said it took bakery staff 18 to 24 hours to prepare and bake 1,400 pies. The line started at 9:30 a.m., and the event drew a wide range of customers.
Alldredge said that businesspeople sometimes buy 30 to 40 pies for their employees, and the Huffaker Elementary School PTA requested that 60 pies be put aside for teachers and staff.
