On 3/14/2009 (Pi day) at 1:59 pm, a group of young graphic designers from all over the country, gathered in Belfast Maine and gave away free pie. They shared stories and laughter and united groups of all kinds, all while savoring slices from 35 different pies. Their message was unassuming and honest: Sometimes life is bad; free pie isn’t. The Free Pie Movement is founded on the idea that simple gestures, like giving away free pie, can unite communities and spread joy. Sweet or savory, fruit-filling or custard, graham crust or pastry, pie is a delicious provender enjoyed by all.
This pie movement is the outcome of John Bielenberg's latest Project M in Belfast, Maine. The next free pie day is right here in Atlanta on Saturday, May 16 from 2pm-3pm, and we are pretty pumped! Sign up here to join a neighborhood team and learn more. All you have to do is bake a pie and show up. After signing up with your number of pies, you will be contacted closer to the date with your team info and meeting place. This event is a great chance to get involved with your community and bring a little joy to your friends and neighbors!
