Pizza Inn launches May Military Appreciation 'Care Package' drive

April 25, 2019

May is Military Appreciation Month, and Pizza Inn is honoring it with a drive to supply military "Care Packages" to service members around the world through a partnership with Operation Gratitude, a news release said. 

Throughout May, Pizza Inn guests can make donations at all 96 participating restaurants or online at pizzainn.com/operationgratitude. Every $15 donated sends an Operation Gratitude Care Package to deployed Troops serving in more than 40 countries and aboard U.S. Naval vessels on all seven seas.

Youngsters can draw pictures or send messages on Pizza Inn coloring sheets, which will be included in Operation Gratitude's Care Packages. 
 
"This simple and tangible expression of appreciation will be realized through the delivery of thousands of Care Packages to our men and women serving around the world and here at home," Operation Gratitude CEO Kevin Schmiegel said in the release. "As a 20-year Marine Veteran, I can tell you that the impact this campaign will have is profound."

Each package sent by the organization contains snacks, hygiene products, entertainment and handmade items, as well as personal letters of support.
