It’s pie time!!
After six successful years and more than $70,000 raised, the Les Dames d’Escoffier (LDEI) Greater Des Moines Chapter is hosting its seventh annual W**e & Pie Drive-By fundraiser on November 21, 2026.
This event supports The LDEI Greater Des Moines Give a Girl a Knife scholarship fund, along with other philanthropic activities. Four amazing young women received $1,000 scholarships this past year. Recently, Greater Des Moines LDEI used 2025 fundraising proceeds to open a community refrigerator located in the Highland Park neighborhood.
Pies can be picked up at our slick drive-up on November 21st at Wall-to-Wall W**e and Spirits. Pies will be made by Des Moines’ top female food pros, and this year’s flavors are:
Bourbon Apple Pecan Crumble
Cherry Lattice
Spiced Cranberry Apple Pie
The 2026 w**e selection, Carra Treviso DOC Corviello Brut Prosecco, is hand-picked by a Wall-to-Wall W**e and Spirits sommelier — who happens to be a Les Dames member!
These w**e-and-pie bundles help participants complete their Thanksgiving holiday menus while raising funds for worthy charities that fight hunger, support sustainable foodways, and uplift those in need in our community. Pies come frozen and ready to bake to help make a successful Thanksgiving feast!
Too busy to pick up on November 21st? Choose ‘Local Delivery,’ and for a small fee, a Les Dames member will deliver to your door on Sunday, November 22nd - within the Des Moines Metro.
