Join us at 

Beauty’s Community Garden’s 8th Annual MLK PEACE through PIE Community Event & Fundraiser, where we continue to focus on celebrating the work and vision of Dr. King’s message toward a harmonious place at the table for all.  This year’s theme is pulled from one of Dr. Kings central messages around, ‘The Beloved Community.’ a world where people of every race, religion and nation live together in peace and harmony. Where together we work for the common progress of  all humankind.  In King’s beloved community poverty, hunger and homelessness are not tolerated because the moral code of mankind won’t allow it. Racism, in all its forms of discrimination, bigotry, and prejudice are replaced by an all-inclusive spirit of Sisterhood and Brotherhood.

Beauty’s Community Garden was created in the Independence Heights Community, and as one of 40+ food desert (apartheid) communities, our commitment is tone part of the root level solution.

This annual event and fundraiser culminates Beauty’s Community Garden’s fundraising campaign that funds Beauty’s Community Garden’s mission to teach people to become their own food source while adopting healthy food choices. Toward that mission, through the spirit of  a ‘beloved community,’ BCG provides year-round programs, youth education, and a hearty crop and eduction producing Garden to be of service to the community.

Every year hundreds of people enjoy entertainment, free food, pie stories, pie sampling, and chances to vote on the best pies. Also included are chances to win prizes, receive giveaways, and attend two sessions of Garden and Healthy Cooking Workshops–Spanish translators are available for some workshops (listed below).
