Here’s What We’ve Got Cookin’ This Holiday Season

GASP’s origin story prominently features strong women - mothers and matriarchs who organized in their living rooms, inviting their friends and neighbors into their homes to advocate for policies and protections to clean up our air.

In its infancy (note: our inception was all the way back in 1969), GASP was truly a grassroots endeavor: We had no foundation support or grant funding to help fill our coffers. 

So how did we raise money?

Glad you asked: They sold cookbooks. 

And to celebrate the holiday season, one of our staffers decided to take it upon herself to recreate one of the most iconic of them: The Fun Bun Dirty Gertie.

Was it delicious? Of course it was! In fact, it was so tasty that we wanted to share the recipe with yinz:

Then we thought, “Wonder how many bakers we have in our ranks - people who might want a vintage GASP Fun Buns cookbook of their very own?” 

Because we found a cache of them during an office cleanout, and while supplies last, we wanna send them to folks who make a charitable donation of any size. Email us at kathy@gasp-pgh.org to secure your piece of GASP history!
