NYC Kids Bake Thanksgiving Pies for Homeless Shelters at Project Rousseau's 15th Annual Pie Day

Project Rousseau's Annual Pie Day

• 🥧 The 15th annual Pie Day event saw underprivileged kids baking hundreds of pies to kick off the holiday season.
• 🤝 This tradition, started by Andrew Heinrich, founder of Project Rousseau, aims to help those in need.

Community Service and Empowerment

• 💡 Volunteers and children participated in a day of service, finding joy rather than it feeling like a job.
• 🎯 Pies baked in the classroom kitchen are distributed to homeless shelters across the city.
• 🌟 A key aspect of community service, according to Heinrich, is empowering young people to realize they can help others and, in turn, help themselves.
• 👥 Notably, many of the young people baking pies are themselves homeless young people serving others in similar circumstances.
