Villa Restaurant Group's Villa Italian Kitchen restaurants are launching its first-ever "Pizza with Purpose" campaign with a "Peace, Joy & Pizza" sweepstakes. Guests can enter for a chance to win $2,000. Villa Italian Kitchen will match that amount and donate $2,000 to a charity of the winner’s choice on their behalf, according to a company press release.

"This holiday season Villa wants to wish peace, love and prosperity, to everyone through our community oriented sweepstakes," said Mimi Wunderlich, brand manager of Villa Italian Pizza. "We invite pizza fans to take part in Villa's first 'Pizza with Purpose' campaign to help us give back to those in need. The crew is excited about this new program and will be sporting 'peace, joy & pizza' shirts during the sweepstakes to remind guests about texting to win and helping others in the process."

Guests can enter the sweepstakes two ways: text-to-win "Villa" to 973-241-8500 or enter on Villa's Facebook page for a chance to win $2,000 and daily prizes beginning today, the release stated. All entrants will receive a thank you coupon for a free Pepsi with any purchase. No purchase necessary. The event ends on Jan. 5, 2016.

Daily instant-win prizes for the sweepstakes include items such as Tom's Shoes, Hand in Hand Luxury Soap, and LSTN Wooden earbuds, all which give back to those in need:

• Tom's Shoes — Each pair of shoes purchased will provide for a pair of shoes for a child in need.
• Hand in Hand — Hand in Hand will donate a bar of soap for every one purchased and provides a month of clean water to children in need.
