United States Pizza Team Hosts Pizza with a Purpose to help hurricane victims
United States Pizza Team Hosts Pizza with a Purpose to help hurricane victims

OXFORD, MISS. (PRWEB) September 05, 2017 -- Members of the United States Pizza Team (USPT) are rallying together to help those in need in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. This natural disaster exceeded all predictions of strength and ferocity and displaced tens of thousands of Houston, Texas-area citizens from their homes. Members of the USPT want to help them by donating a portion of their pizza restaurant’s sales to the Houston Food Bank on Thursday, September 7.

This team’s members are the first to give you the shirt off their back in competition and in life as well.

Twenty three USPT members with a total of 36 locations have dedicated Thursday to raise money in the “Pizza with a Purpose” fundraiser. The members will donate $2 for every pizza sold in their establishments to the Houston Food Bank.
