Mod Super Fast Pizza Holdings LLC is debuting a Value(s) Menu that provides a way for customers to support a non-profit.

The brand's inaugural Values(s) Menu partner through Aug. 22 is Best Buddies International, which is dedicated to helping those with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). The Value(s) Menu will be a permanent addition to Mod's menu and is meant to celebrate the positive impact that can be made when like-minded organizations partner around their shared values, according to a press release.

Mod plans to donate $500,000 to Best Buddies to help support its mission.

When customers purchase a Value(s) Meal, which is any Mod-sized pizza or salad and a 24-ounce beverage, Mod will donate 50 cents to Best Buddies. Customers can add a "Side of Modness" to any order and make a 50-cent donation to Best Buddies as well.

"Mod exists to serve people in order to contribute to a world that works for and includes everyone. Our Value(s) Menu is one more way for us to deepen the impact we can make in our communities and help organizations that are doing such incredible and important work," Ally Svenson, co-founder and protector of the purpose, Mod Pizza, said in the release. "Over the years, we've seen the power of strategic partnership, especially when it's built on shared values — which has certainly been the case with Best Buddies. A shared commitment to inclusion, belonging and opportunity has been our focus with Best Buddies for years. We're thrilled that our customers can join in this work by simply enjoying a meal at Mod!"

Mod and Best Buddies forged their partnership in 2019 to create employment and career development opportunities. Today, Mod employs nearly 300 individuals with IDD.

"Best Buddies is incredibly grateful to partner with Mod Pizza in support of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities," Anthony Kennedy Shriver, chairman, founder and CEO of Best Buddies International, said in the release. "Mod's commitment to hiring people with IDD is truly exemplary, and our shared values of acceptance, inclusion and belonging allows people with IDD to thrive and live full, productive lives. This new fundraising campaign further solidifies Mod's commitment to our cause."
