3 years ago, I was constantly emailing many Little Caesars Pizza franchise owners all over the nation, attempting to sway them to participate in Food Rescue. One day, a Virginia franchise owner responded by saying......"we are already doing this!" I asked him, "did you begin because of all the information I sent you and photos?" He responded, "Your emails definitely inspired me to move forward. It was in the back of my head and one of my supervisors suggested it through a local contact in Roanoke, VA. It's been a good program." I said, "How many stores do you have?" He responded "19". The actual link is here, from their actual 11/16/15 report, but it includes this excerpt from the president of Feeding America in Southwest VA: Since we began working with Aces, LLC, the local Little Caesars franchisee, we have been able to get over 100,000 pizzas to families in need. We are excited to continue our work with Little Caesars and hope that this food drive will not only increase food donation levels but raise awareness as well — Pamela Irvine, President and CEO of Feeding America Southwest Virginia. We consider each pizza to reflect 4 meals, so the total for meals rescued would be 400,000 since the program was started. As 2015 comes to close, we would like to thank all of our supporters for making these miracles happen year after year. We could not do it without your support! |
