Pizza Schmizza and Schmizza Pub & Grub restaurants in Salem, Oregon, announced that H.E.L.P (Helping Education with Love and Pizza) the Charity issued 37 awards of grants totaling $13,445.60, for its latest grant period which ended, Feb. 15, according to a company press release. H.E.L.P. is supported by all Pizza Schmizza and Schmizza Pub & Grub restaurants. The funds awarded to date will make a positive impact on children's lives in many communities. This brings the total awards of grants since H.E.L.P., the Charity began in October 2010, to 491 awards of grants totaling $118,019.25.
Through its Gold Award winning grant program, H.E.L.P. provides grants to U.S. based non-profit tax-exempt schools and other entities to support educational programs. H.E.L.P. was born out of the restaurants' desire to make a positive, long lasting impact on the communities they serve, the release stated.
The worldwide recession caused many local, state and federal governments to drastically cut the budgets at schools, with potentially devastating results. It was this need that drove the restaurants to conceive of H.E.L.P., the Charity. H.E.L.P. was launched in late 2010 and began raising funds that October.
Causes receiving awards in this grant period include:
In September 2015, H.E.L.P., the Charity received the International Franchise Association Educational Foundation's highest award, for Innovation and Impact.
