When Jenny Cleveland of Cleveland-Heath, a wonderful restaurant in Edwardsville, asked me if they could do a fund raiser for Partners For Pets I never dreamed what that would entail. She wanted to have a "Pies for Partners" and sell pies and other goodies like quiche, bread pudding, rolls and sccones to benefit the dogs and cats at our shelter. It would start before Thanksgiving and run until the end of the year. All of the proceeds would be given to P4P. Then I started thinking about it.
Cleveland-Heath has delicious food and their desserts, made at the restaurant, are amazing. I started to worry that they would be swamped, which would be great for P4P, but a ton of work for Cleveland-Heath. But Jenny had it all planned out from the pie shells to the pick up. Her amazing family was there to help such as her sister, Jamie O'Day of Wang Gang fame, and her mom , who bakes for Josephines. They have some seriously good restaurant blood in their family!
People came from far and wide to buy the delicious desserts and quiche. Thanksgiving was crazy as people put their orders in to take to family dinners. Christmas was again a success. Some people gave them as gifts, some took them to parties. All in all they baked over 300 pies plus the other goodies for a huge donation of $6700.00 for the dogs and cats at the shelter. Wow! That is a lot of pies!
Thank you for your kindness Cleveland-Heath!! It really touched me that someone would do all that for the dogs and cats at our shelter. Amazing!!
