Domino's Pizza and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have unveiled The Domino's Village, which has 140 furnished units in connection with the hospital. The six-story building was funded by Domino's as part of a 10-year, historic $100 million commitment to St. Jude, according to a press release.

The Domino's Village is connected to the St. Jude campus by a pedestrian bridge and provides housing to St. Jude patients and their families.

"Treatments for childhood cancer and other catastrophic diseases can take an enormous toll on families," James R. Downing, M.D., St. Jude president and CEO, said in the release. "The Domino's Village offers a place where patient families can find comfort along their journey, a place where they can unwind, connect and recharge, as they would in their own home."

"We could not be any more excited to celebrate the newest housing facility for patient families at St. Jude," Russell Weiner, Domino's CEO, said in the release. "This has been in the works for more than three years now, as Domino's first announced its commitment to raise $100 million to go toward this housing facility back in 2020. Thanks to our stores' fundraising efforts and the generous donations of our customers, The Domino's Village has come to life, providing a place of comfort and rest to families who have children who are undergoing treatment for cancer and other catastrophic diseases. We're grateful to be able to have one small part in providing a home away from home for these families when they need it the most."

Domino's operates nearly 20,000 stores in more than 90 markets.
