Cincinnati-area Donatos Pizza restaurants are partnering with the Sam Hubbard Foundation and Crayons to Computers to collect items for back to school, according to a press release.

"The decision to partner with The Sam Hubbard Foundation and Crayons to Computers was an easy one," Bill Aseere, Cincinnati area franchise owner, said in the press release. "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."

Through Aug. 31st, 23 participating Cincinnati-based Donato Pizza franchise locations will display at Sam Hubbard locker. Guests who bring in a qualifying school item to stock one of these lockers will receive a coupon for a free medium one-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 using the designated Donatos QR code will also receive the same coupon.

Donatos has more than 175 stores and 300 non-traditional locations nationwide.
