Donatos Pizza, Crayons to Computers, and the Sam Hubbard Foundation Team Up to Tackle Food Insecurity and Supply Local Schools!

CINCINNATI, July 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Donatos Pizza's Cincinnati area locations are partnering with the Sam Hubbard Foundation and Crayons to Computers to collect and donate school supplies, hygiene items and healthy snacks for Cincinnati-area students – and give away free pizza!

Students without access to adequate resources often face insurmountable challenges. Families struggling to put food on their table cannot prioritize purchasing school supplies. When students have the tools necessary to achieve, the possibilities are endless! 

"The decision to partner with The Sam Hubbard Foundation and Crayons To Computers was an easy one. There's truly no more important piece to our community than children. What Sam Hubbard and these two organizations are doing to help those in our city who need it most is admirable and we're thrilled to be a small part of it," said Cincinnati area franchise owner Bill Aseere.

These Cincinnati-area big-hitters are teaming up to tackle food insecurity and deliver much-needed school supplies to local students.

From July 1, 2024, to August 31, 2024, twenty-three (23) participating Cincinnati-based Donatos Pizza franchise locations will each proudly display a Sam Hubbard locker. Guests who bring a qualifying item to stock one of these lockers will receive a coupon for a free medium 1-topping pizza with the purchase of a large pizza.* While all donations are welcome and encouraged, each month of this initiative will encourage different categories of donations. Qualifying donations in July will include personal hygiene products (deodorant, feminine products, and body wash) and school supplies (Crayola crayons, washable markers, colored pencils, and correction tape). Qualifying donations in August will include non-perishable health snacks (Goldfish, CLIF Zbars, and packs of bottled water). Individuals who donate at least $3.00 using the designated Donatos QR code will also receive the same coupon.

All donations and proceeds received during this exciting event will be used to stock the Cupboards for Cincinnati-area school students at participating Hubbard's Cupboard schools.
