- Learning Opportunity: Gain kitchen skills and connect with diverse community members.
Why Volunteer With Us?
By joining our kitchen, you're not just preparing meals – you're strengthening our community, one plate at a time. Here's how your contribution makes a difference:
- You'll help create delicious, plant-based meals for all, regardless of their ability to pay.
- Your efforts support our mission to reduce food waste by working with local food systems.

PIEOWA: A Piece of America
200 N. Main Street
Fairfield, IA

November 14, 2025
7:00 pm
Pie is not only an iconic American dessert, it is a nonpartisan symbol kindness, comfort, generosity, unity, and love—all the things we need more of right now. To convey how something as simple as a homemade pie can make the world a better place, filmmaker, author, and piemaker Beth M. Howard aims her lens at her native Iowa, where pie is woven into the state’s cultural fabric. From church fundraisers to old diners, farmers markets, myriad pie shops, international flavors, Iowa State Fair competitions, the next generation of piemakers, and a 500-mile bike ride across the state where people come from all over the world just to eat pie. We learn how pie, an immigrant that can be traced back to ancient Egypt, is as diverse as America’s population. Wholesome, heartfelt, and hopeful, PIEOWA: A PIECE OF AMERICA, is as satisfying as a slice of warm apple pie.
FREE PIE WILL BE SERVED AFTERWARDS.
This screening will feature a special introduction, followed by a post-film Q&A with the Director, Producer, and Writer, Beth M. Howard.
