The turkey pie sales were so popular last year, members of the American Legion Auxiliary Tardiff-Belanger Unit #39, Madison, decided to sell them again, according to a news release from Harriet Bryant with the auxiliary.
Members of American Legion Auxiliary Tardiff-Belanger Unit No. 39, Madison, recently made and sold 162 turkey pies, with the proceeds to benefit local food pantries.
Renys in Madison donated 100 pie plates and Apple Tree Bakery gave a discounted price for the pie boxes. Members donated turkeys and many needed items like flour, vegetables and Crisco, and their time making pies.
After expenses, $2,295 was raised and donated to five local food cupboards.
