Pizza for a Purpose facilitates the donation of pizzas from restaurants to local charities. Our mission is to feed those in need by making it easy for pizza businesses to donate their pledged pizzas. At Pizza for a Purpose, we believe that no one should go hungry, especially when there is plenty of food that can be shared. With just a few taps on the phone, restaurants can donate pizzas and help make a difference in the community. Our app is easy to use and streamlines the donation process. Simply sign up, input the time of pickup, the number of pies to be donated, and choose a nearby charity organization to receive the donation. Approximately 800 million people struggle from food insecurity worldwide and more than 160,000 people in Palm Beach County alone. This problem is just too big to ignore. Join us in our mission to reduce food waste and bridge the gap to self-sustenance.
