Toppers on track to break fundraising record for hunger organization
Wisconsin-based Toppers Pizza is on track to break its fundraising record for domestic hunger relief organization Feeding America.
The chain raised $46,328 in 2011, the equivalent of 370,624 meals, and $50,000 in 2012, the equivalent of 400,000 meals, according to a news release.
"We wanted to give back through a method that directly reflected and connected with what we stand for, which is feeding people," said Scott Gittrich, president and founder of Toppers. "Through our partnership with Feeding America, we are able to come together not as one brand, but as one family dedicated to helping fight against hunger in America."
Every dollar donated to Feeding America provides eight meals for families in need, according to the organization. In 2012, Gittrich personally matched 50 cents for every dollar the company raised that year. In order to further drive awareness to the cause, he matched dollar for dollar in December of 2012.
