"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

 - Margaret Mead

Pie in the Sky has one mission: to deliver—at no cost—fresh, healthy, and nutritious produce to low-income, hungry seniors throughout St. Johns County. We purchase the freshest local produce available, supplement it with donated food from generous community partners, and rely on dedicated volunteers to sort, bag, and deliver this food to seniors living in every corner of our county.

 

All recipients are screened for income eligibility using the USDA Federal Poverty Guidelines, and we ensure that each senior is able to prepare the food we provide. But we deliver more than groceries. Our volunteers bring compassion, connection, and a caring presence—offering vital social support that enhances the benefits of good nutrition and helps reduce the chronic illnesses linked to both hunger and isolation.

 

Pie in the Sky goes wherever hungry seniors live. We bring food down dead end dirt roads just minutes from downtown St. Augustine. We deliver to Elwood, a historic Black settlement of former turpentine workers off Highway 16. We visit a brother and sister living in a centuries old farmstead near the St. Johns River; multigenerational families in the remote stretches of Flagler Estates near the Putnam and Flagler County line; and a senior tucked deep in the woods off State Road 13, in a place untouched by time.

 

Our drivers travel north to Ponte Vedra and Nocatee, south to Crescent Beach, east into downtown St. Augustine, and west to Tocoi, Picolata, Orangedale, Elkton, Spuds, and Hastings. Wherever there is a senior in need in St. Johns County—that is exactly where we go.
