Papa Johns Achieves Over $73K Donation Helping Canadians
Papa Johns Supports Canadian Communities Through Generosity
Papa Johns Canada has made a significant impact by raising an impressive $73,411 through the sale of its popular Shaq-a-Roni pizza, aimed at supporting Second Harvest, the largest food rescue organization in Canada. This remarkable contribution will help deliver over 222,000 meals to individuals and families facing food insecurity across the nation.
Community Commitment and Delicious Pizza
Steve Chan, Managing Director of Papa Johns Canada, expressed the company's commitment to community involvement: "With more than 200 locally owned and operated stores, giving back to our communities is at the heart of what we do." Chan emphasized that the Shaq-a-Roni campaign is an eagerly anticipated event for franchisees and team members alike. It's a perfect combination of serving a delicious pizza while making a tangible difference for those who need it most.
The Impact of Each Dollar
The Shaq-a-Roni campaign was active from October 21st to December 29th, 2024, during which Papa Johns dedicated one dollar from each Shaq-a-Roni sold to Second Harvest. This simple yet effective approach allows each dollar to fund three nutritious meals, thereby creating a robust initiative to combat food waste and hunger throughout Canada.
Celebrating Success Together
Lori Nikkel, CEO of Second Harvest, shared her gratitude, stating, "It’s incredible to see the campaign surpass $73K and continue to grow year after year. This generous donation will help provide over 200,000 meals to communities across Canada, positively impacting countless lives." The ongoing support from Papa Johns franchisees plays a crucial role in this success.
