GOT QUESTIONS? WE'VE GOT ANSWERS!
So what, exactly, is Bust a Crust? It's Meals on Wheels' signature fundraiser, which generates proceeds that we use to help feed and provide services to our seniors in need. It's also your path to Thanksgiving Day happiness. We make it easy for you to serve your Thanksgiving dessert. All you have to do is place an order online for one (or more!) of our delicious pies, pick them up or have them delivered, and then keep your kids from eating them until Thursday.
We realize you may have more questions, so we created this list of frequently asked questions. If you can't find the answer to your question here, contact us at bustacrust@muchmorethanameal.org.
Between October 15-November 11, go to Bustacrust.org and click "Order now!" to place your order online. We offer four varieties to satisfy all tastebuds: Pumpkin, apple, pecan and sweet potato. Gluten-free pumpkin is also available. All pies are $25. You pay using a credit card at checkout.
On Saturday, November 19 (the Saturday before Thanksgiving), come to the Xavier University Alumni Center (1507 Dana Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio 45207). We will meet you, greet you and bring your pies to your car.
Our pies come from several sources. This year, we added Sara Lee as our primary sponsor, and the company is contributing pies. We also have several local bakeries, groceries and restaurants who serve as our "Pie Masters" and bake pies as well.
Each year we also have a featured baker who contributes something special. This year, Walt's Hitching Post is offering Grace's Carrot Cake as a pie alternative. A limited quantity of these are available and usually sell out within one day.
We offer four flavors: Pumpkin, pecan, apple and sweet potato.
Gluten-free pumpkin pies are also available.
Pie pick-up day is Saturday, November 19, from 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. at the Xavier University Alumni Center (1507 Dana Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio 45207). We meet you, greet you and bring your pies to your car.
NOTE: We cannot deliver pies this year. Any pies not picked up on this date will be donated to area seniors.
Yes. The pies are baked and ready to eat. Properly store them in the refrigerator or freezer when you get home. They are guaranteed to stay fresh to November 26.
Proceeds from each pie your purchase goes directly toward helping provide meals and more to area seniors. All dollars raised stay in our community to help those in need.
This is the third year for Bust a Crust! and each year it has gotten significantly larger, allowing us to help more and more seniors. In 2020, we sold more than 1,700 pies and were able to help 7,000 seniors. In 2021, we sold more than 3,000 pies and were able to help more than 10,000 seniors. This year, with your help, we are looking to sell 5,000 pies.
