Organ Stop Pizza collecting for Christmas in July food drive

Posted

Organ Stop Pizza, 1149 E. Southern Ave. in Mesa, is offering 10% off for customers donating food or money to benefit the United Food Bank Christmas in July food drive.

Bring in at least two approved nonperishable food items — no glass jars, baby food or opened food — or make a $2 cash donation July 1-31 and receive 10% off your entire kitchen bill that evening while enjoying The Mighty Wurlitzer organ and pizzas, pasta, salad and more, according to a release.

One lucky guest will win a free stocking of Organ Stop Pizza goodies each evening and Santa and Mrs. Claus will be visiting each Saturday and Sunday in July, the release states.

“When you drop off donations for this food drive in July you will be able to step out of the triple-digit temps into the spirit of the holidays. We’ll deck the Mighty Wurlitzer and walls with a Christmas feel. Jingle all the way to (Organ Stop Pizza) in Mesa and help a worthy cause,” Jack Barz, Organ Stop Pizza co-owner, said in the release.

Most-needed items are:

  • Cash donations;
  • Peanut butter;
  • Canned meat;
  • Canned fruit and vegetables;
  • Cereal-whole grain, low sugar;
  • Soup, stews, chili, beans;
  • Milk — canned/dried; and
  • Rice and pasta.

Christmas in July is an annual food drive in the summer that aims to help stock United Food Bank’s shelves.

“Summer is the hardest time of the year for many individuals and families in Arizona. Kids are out of school, meaning parents have the added pressure of providing more food. Temperatures rise, making electric bills higher, forcing families to make tough decisions like choosing between paying bills or paying for food,” the release states. “With your help, we will be able to continue to help our neighbors who struggle daily for food this summer. Because of you, meals will be delivered to senior citizens, fewer children will go to bed hungry, and many parents will worry less.”
