Be kind, have pie

Lend a hand, have some pie. Sounds like a good combination, eh?

The Lions are teaming up with Achatz Handmade Pie Co., to raise money for the Haiti Earthquake relief. On Friday, Feb. 5, from noon to 2 p.m., Detroit Lions will meet and greets customers at four local Achatz pie shops. From 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. that day, for a $10 donation customers will receive a free slice of pie or a hot bowl of soup to-go. All proceeds will benefit the Salvation Army Disaster Relief Fund in Haiti.

Punter Nick Harris will be at the Troy location at 1063 E. Long Lake Road; kicker Jason Hanson will be at the Sterling Heights Pie Shot at 35736 Van Dyke; defensive end Jared DeVries will welcome customers at the Shelby Pie Shot at 46575 Hayes Road; and former defensive lineman Luther Elliss will be at the Oxford Pie Shop at 40 N. Washington.

Three of the Lions — Gosder Cherilus, Cliff Avril and Louis Delmas — have Haitian backgrounds with friends and family on the island.
