Food donations can be dropped off during regular hours and will be delivered to the food bank. Founder Lorraine Pike commented, "My grandfather landed in Halifax at Pier 21 in 1905 and we have always celebrated the food and traditions of his homeland. He was proud to make his home in Canada, but did not forget to teach us to remember our heritage as well. Today members of our family can be found from coast to coast, and we will always be united by our shared culinary traditions." Sable Shortbread was founded in 2014 by mother and daughter team, Lorraine and Julia Pike, to create employment for Julia, a person with barriers to employment. Duncan, Julia's brother, joined the business full time in 2018. Duncan commented, "Sable Shortbread makes Canadian Shortbread and once a year, Italian Zeppole. We love that our heritage combines the art of Italian food with the skills and techniques of such a classic cookie as shortbread. Our combined Irish and Italian heritage lead to good food, good friends and good times. Slainte." Visit Sable Shortbread on March 19 to take part in the celebration.
