At this time of year when we look forward to the holidays and pause to take some time to be grateful, at PIE we are deeply grateful for the many partners and individuals that make PIE possible in our communities! So far this year, 29 participants have completed their financial saving and asset purchase goals. This brings the total number of individuals who have completed PIE with asset purchases to 397 since 2001.
