The family-owned Home Run Inn will produce more than 100,000 pizzas a day in December.
Home Run Inn is teaming up with Big Green and Stein Learning Gardens to donate 500 frozen pizzas and healthy recipes at Chicago’s Saint Sabina Church on Tuesday, December 1, 2020. The initiative will kick off a month of donations that aims to feed over 10,000 first responders, hospital staff, and families who are most in need.
The 2,000 South Side residents will be the first of many to receive free frozen pizzas courtesy of Home Run Inn who will begin producing more than 100,000 pizzas a day from their Woodridge manufacturing facility in December. In support of “Giving Tuesday”, Home Run Inn will be donating the pizzas from 11 am at Saint Sabina Church found down at 1210 W 78th Place, Chicago. The first 500 drivers in line will receive a frozen cheese, pepperoni, or sausage pizza as well as healthy recipe cards.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic first started running riot in the United States, Home Run Inn has donated more than 30,000 pizzas helping to feed over 80,000 families in need as well as hospital workers and first responders in the Chicagoland area. The family-owned pizzeria giant has been stepping in to help out South Side Chicagoans since it opened its first South Side tavern more than 73 years ago in 1947.
“Throughout the ongoing pandemic but especially in the spirit of the holidays, our team is fortunate to support those in need,” said Gina Bolger, Senior Vice President of Branding and a member of the fifth-generation of family-owned HomeRun Inn. “We are dedicated to feeding Chicago families and first responders who work tirelessly all month long.”
