Meals in Homes and Other Homemade Food

The donor agrees to serve a meal at their home, unless otherwise specified, on a mutually agreeable date with the buyer. The donor specifies the number of people to be invited and usually designates a certain type of meal—anything from pizza to a brunch, a holiday meal, a home-style meat-and-potato meal, grilled meal, Amish meal, etc. After arranging the date, the buyer invites his/her guests to the meal. Unless otherwise noted, meals expire one year from this year's benefit. Meals donated for the 2026 Benefit include the following:

Relax and enjoy a Ladies Tea Party for 8. Marcia Miller and Lauralee Kauffman will entertain at Marcia's lovely rural Kalona home.

Cindi and Roger Schrock will host a relaxing evening with friends for a wood-fired pizza meal for eight. Enjoy this gathering at their beautiful, Frytown home at a mutually agreed upon date for 2027.

Pie Club Membership! You are purchasing 6 homemade pies made by Elvesta Hochstedler to benefit Pleasantview! Varieties will be seasonal and pie-maker's choice, though you may make suggestions. One pie will be delivered bimonthly - the odd numbered months, beginning November, 2026. Free delivery within 15 mile radius of Kalona. We have two of these.
