Hometown pizza brand donates portion of weekend sales to local families

PADUCAH, Ky., Jan. 5, 2022 // PRNewswire // - Local Pizza Inn restaurants are continuing efforts to support families and first responders impacted by last month's tornado. The pizza company will host a fundraiser at its two Kentucky locations and will collect donations for seven families who have been devastated with the loss of homes and belongings.

"Our team has been feeding first responders and providing meals through local churches for the last several weeks," said Larry Rust, Pizza Inn franchise owner in Paducah. "We are donating sales from our busiest days to help families who need our assistance and are providing an easy way for people to make donations."

The in-store fundraiser will be held Jan. 7 - Jan. 9 in Paducah and Frankfort restaurants where a portion of sales will be allocated directly to the seven families. In addition, cash donations will be accepted via a donation box in each restaurant. Donations for the families and first responders will also be accepted through online ordering.

Participating locations include 1001 Joe Clifton Dr. in Paducah and 100 Brighton Park in Frankfort. Visit the Kentucky page on our website for hours, directions and online orders.

Paducah's Pizza Inn has been in the community for 50 years and the commitment to giving back has been at the core of the hometown pizza place. Rust has donated nearly $500,000 to churches, schools, nonprofit organizations and local charities.
