Greco Pizza is thrilled to partner with the Provincial Food Banks in Atlantic Canada with their “Share and Care” campaign which ran in January and June of this year. “Making pizza is what we do best, so it just made sense to donate Greco pizzas to the Food Banks. This was the first time Greco launched a program of this magnitude with the Food Banks and both Grinner’s and its Franchisees are very pleased with the results,” says Don Moore, President of Grinner’s Food Systems Limited, Franchisor of Greco Pizza. “Our Franchisees are very active in the communities they both live and work in and stand behind their commitment to support their neighbors in time of need. It is through the generosity and support of Greco customers and Franchisees that made this campaign such a huge success.”
Food Banks in Atlantic Canada are dedicated to helping thousands of people who turn to the food banks for help each year. The Food Banks not only need support during the holidays but also in the summer months when food insecurities don’t take a summer break. “We are incredibly grateful for all the support Greco Pizza Franchisees have shown us in 2018, 3700 pizzas will feed a lot of families in Atlantic Canada. We look forward to partnering on future promotions with an established Atlantic Canadian business like Greco Pizza” says Greg Doucet, Provincial Food Director, New Brunswick Association of Food Banks (NBAFB).
