Hi Heart of Virginia!

🥧 Don't let TUESDAY pass you by...

That's the deadline to ORDER PIE! 🥧

Buy a Pie to Keep Them Dry - a fundraiser for new tents and platforms at Heart of Virginia Council Camps! The Thanksgiving holiday is fast approaching, and we all know the best part of our family gatherings is the dessert. Stock up on the favorites like pecan, pumpkin, and apple pie, and be everyone’s holiday hero when you show up with fruit, French Silk Cream, or Boston Cream pies. Better yet, buy one of each and save $10! The final day to order is November 1st!
