For the 14th year, Barro's Pizza is donating all Tuesday earnings to St. Mary's Food Bank. Through their "Holiday Hunger Fight," each pizza purchased provides 70 meals, and each fountain drink provides 13 meals to those in need, according to ABC15.
More than the warmth of a fresh slice, Barro's commitment truly extends to warming the community, having turned their annual event into a substantial source of relief for food banks. Over the program's history, a staggering $3.25 million has been collected, amounting to over 16 million meals as per a statement obtained by Your Valley. Bruce Barro, co-owner of the Arizona-based pizza chain, didn't hesitate to underline the mission's importance, sharing, "Giving back to the community is incredibly important to us, especially during the holidays when so many of our neighbors need it most."
Last year’s Holiday Hunger Fight raised over $419,900, providing 2.1 million meals for Arizona residents and cementing it as St. Mary’s Food Bank’s top fundraiser. With nearly 1 million Arizonans facing hunger—including 1 in 5 children—community support remains crucial.
St. Mary’s Food Bank and Barro’s Pizza continue their fight against hunger, honoring the legacy of Doran Barro. “We are deeply thankful for Barro’s unwavering support,” said Milt Liu, president and CEO of St. Mary’s Food Bank. According to Your Valley, the fundraiser allows the community to help feed those in need while enjoying pizza, especially during the holidays.
