Serving the community, one slice at a time

On Friday, September 11, Beverly’s Hearty Slice served hot pizza at Kendall-Perkins Park. Serving bi-monthly it celebrated its 6th season feeding the neighborhood as well as the homeless in the Baptisttown community. This event hosted every other Friday of the month by Travis Owsley, founder and CEO, is done in remembrance of his mother, Beverly Slaughters. “I remember me and my sister being at home when she’d pull out the grill to cook hotdogs and burgers to those needing something to eat. “That was a humbling experience that never left me,” he shared.” After growing up in this situation then seeing that everyone was looking for a solution he decided to ‘be the solution’. With donations of pizza from Little Caeser’s pizza nearly 100 kids and adults enjoyed food, soda pop, desserts, a bounce house and more. There were also basketball, football, bicycle and t-shirt giveaways, courtesy of other corporation’s giving. If you look around rather than looking down on people, you’ll find there’s always some good happening in the hood.
