Zippy's and Anna Miller's are running a Thanksgiving pie drive with the Salvation Army, good news for families in need across Hawaii.

• Buy a pumpkin pie at Zippy's through November 22 or at Anna Miller's through November 24, and a matching pie goes to the Salvation Army's Thanksgiving meal.
• The donated pies will be served at the Salvation Army's annual Thanksgiving dinner at the Neal S. Blaisdell Exhibition Hall.
• Separately, Momentum Dance Maui kicks off its sixth annual Nutcracker production at Maui's historic Iao Theater starting December 12, with a kids-ticket promo for the opening show.
• Hope Services Hawaii opened Kanaleia, a new 12-unit supportive housing complex in Kailua-Kona, giving formerly houseless individuals and families stable homes.

Outlook: Expect steady community turnout for the pie drive through the holiday and continued rollout of Maui's Nutcracker shows into December.
