The event you all know and love is making a comeback this year. We all felt the pains of 2020, especially the vulnerable seniors that we serve so we decided to bust out our classic event for its ten year celebration. Join as we celebrate spring and raise money for our senior neighbors in need. This year, the event will be held on line where you can bid on fabulous artist created birdhouses and buy a Pie and A Plant. But for those of you who like to see things in person, we've got you covered. The auction will culminate on May 1, 2021 with a special event viewing, where final bids can be made. And just to keep things familiar and fun, our friends, Lonesome Bert and the Skinny Lizards will be on hand to provide some highly anticipated tunes. Oh how we have missed those guys!
The birdhouses, artfully created by many of our talented local artists will be on the bidding site beginning April 17. You can view and bid up until 11:59 p.m. April 30, 2021.
You can pick-up your birdhouse on Saturday May 1, 2021 from 11-3 at our special homage to ten years of For the Birds events. The location may be different but there will be lots of familiar faces including, Lonesome Bert and The Skinny Lizards, The Skinny, Steveo and Sue, silent auction items, including fabulous baskets by Phyllis and some other surprises as well.
We're calling it For the Birds Party and Pick-up. Bring your lawn chair and sit a spell and listen to some great music and visit with some old friends.
And, there's more!
You can order a Pie and a Posie, available for one day only and in a limited number. Our friends at Southern Horticulture are generously donating a beautiful flowering spring plant to go along with your pie purchase.
Using the link below, you can order your pie and plant for pick-up on the day of the event, May 1, from 11-3 at our warehouse, 134 Riberia St. Unit 4, St. Augustine.
Don't want to get out of your car? No problem. Curbside service will be available for Pie and Posie pick-up.
Of course, for our safety and yours, masks will be required on the day of the event and social distancing policies will be in effect. We don't want any of us to get sick and most especially we don't want to spread the virus to our seniors.
Thank you for your support. Bid early. Bid often. Help us help our seniors in need.
Note: photos of plants may not be the actual plant as assortment will vary depending on what is blooming at the time.

Piece Out Pie Contest and Auction- November 9, 2019
Join us for a Special Event-
Peace in the Park
September 21, 2019
Pie in the Sky Community Alliance, INC., will host their annual Peace in the Park event on International Day of Peace, Saturday, September 21, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Eddie Vickers Park, 399 Riberia Street, St. Augustine.
This event is free and open to the public. There will be music by The Peaceniks, yoga for kids, origami activities, and peace poles during the event. Human Peace Sign forming will begin at 11:00 a.m. Participants are encouraged to bring jars of peanut butter, which will be used to form a Pyramid of Peace and later distributed to seniors in need.
International Day of Peace is a day to reflect on how we can build a culture of peace. Pie in the Sky is encouraging the community to come together and be inspired by what one person can do, and what many can do together, when dedicated to peace. “Nine years ago, we held the first human peace sign in the rural farming town of Hastings,” explained Malea Guiriba, founder and executive director of Pie in the Sky. “It was a new concept; we had had no idea how it would turn out. We thought this would be the perfect time to bring this event to St. Augustine to help celebrate our 10th anniversary and to cultivate an atmosphere of peace and understanding.”
Over the last 10 years, Pie in the Sky has helped thousands of people throughout St. Johns County. The organization’s Senior Produce Program delivers fresh, healthy produce to low-income, food-insecure senior citizens throughout the community. “Forming a human peace sign,” Guiriba said, is a way to bring awareness to our mission of fighting senior hunger in St. Johns County, where more than 6,000 seniors go to bed hungry.” Quoting Dorothy Day, Guiriba said, “we believe Peace begins when the hungry are fed.”
