TORONTO, ON - Pizzapizza's heartwarming month-long charity campaign has successfully concluded, raising an impressive $25,000 for Canadian food banks across participating locations. The initiative, which ran throughout November 2024, demonstrated the power of community partnership and the generous spirit of Canadian pizza lovers.
Community Comes Together for a Great Cause
The campaign featured multiple fundraising initiatives designed to engage customers while supporting local communities. Every Pizzapizza delivery and pickup order included an optional donation feature, allowing customers to easily contribute to the cause. Special promotional events were held at participating locations, including charity pizza nights where a portion of proceeds went directly to food bank partners.
"We're incredibly proud of our customers and team members who made this campaign such a tremendous success. This $25,000 will make a real difference in communities across Canada."
- Sarah Mitchell, Pizzapizza Community Relations Manager
Record-Breaking Customer Participation
The campaign saw unprecedented participation from Pizzapizza customers, with over 15,000 individual donations recorded across all participating locations. The average donation amount was $1.67, demonstrating that even small contributions can create significant impact when combined with community spirit. Many customers chose to round up their pizza delivery orders to the nearest dollar, with the difference going directly to the food bank fund.

Supporting Canadian Food Security
The funds raised will be distributed among partner food banks across Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia, with priority given to organizations serving families with children and seniors. Food bank representatives estimate that the $25,000 donation will provide approximately 75,000 meals to families in need during the upcoming winter months, when demand typically increases significantly.
Beyond monetary contributions, several Pizzapizza locations organized food drives, collecting non-perishable items from customers during pizza pickup and delivery. Team members volunteered their time at local food banks, helping with sorting and distribution efforts. The campaign also raised awareness about food insecurity issues affecting Canadian communities.
Looking Forward to Future Initiatives
Building on this success, Pizzapizza plans to make charity partnerships a regular feature of their community engagement strategy. The company is already exploring opportunities for spring 2025 initiatives, including potential partnerships with youth programs and environmental organizations. Customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing interest in participating in future charitable campaigns.
The success of this charity partnership demonstrates the positive impact that can be achieved when businesses and communities work together toward common goals. As Pizzapizza continues to serve delicious pizza across Canada, they remain committed to serving their communities through meaningful charitable initiatives and partnerships that make a real difference in people's lives.
