What if dessert could make a difference in our community?

Pie It Forward Florida

Is a grassroots initiative founded by Chef Natasha Burton, using the power of pie to create real change. We host intentional gatherings, like “A Story in Every Slice”, that combine storytelling, shared meals, and community fundraising. It’s more than dessert. It’s about legacy, love, and local impact.

We partner with nonprofits, local small businesses and storytellers to amplify voices often overlooked and raise funds for children in care, families in crisis, and dreams waiting to rise.
