For more than 35 years P.I. and the First Christian Church in Newton, have continued a heartwarming tradition of Pie Day. Each year volunteers serve pumpkin pie to connect with individuals we support. This tradition began as an act of friendship, inclusion, and opportunity to welcome people with disabilities into their lives and community. We are grateful to our volunteers from the First Christian Church in Newton, for their continued commitment, kindness and the lasting relationships they’ve helped nurture over more than three decades. “The heart of a volunteer is never measured in size, but by the depth of the commitment to make a difference in the lives of others.” -DeAnn Hollis.
