Home Run Innis celebrating 75 years with a year-long pizza giveaway. In partnership with City of Chicago Department of Family and Support Services(DFSS), Home Run Inn will distribute 10,000 pizzas throughout the year to Chicagoans experiencing homelessness, Chicago Seniors and low-income families.
“DFSS is committed to bringing people together to foster community and support – and nothing brings people together quite like food.” said DFSS Commissioner Brandie Knazze. “Home Run Inn’s generosity will do more than feed thousands of Chicagoans, many of whom are experiencing food insecurity. It will bring individuals and communities together to celebrate our City, its pizza, and each other.”
“We are proud to have had the opportunity to establish roots in Chicago 75 years ago,” says Dan Costello, CEO of Home Run Inn, who took the helm over from his late uncle Joe Perrino after his passing in 2018. “It’s one of the best food cities in the world and to be one the legendary pizza brands is a great honor.”
“Home Run Inn upholds our core family values as we remain dedicated to giving back to those in need,” says Gina (Perrino) Bolger, Senior Vice President of Marketing and fourth-generation family member of Home Run Inn.
The partnership between Home Run Inn and DFSS will kick off the giving campaign on Thursday, March 24 from 10 a.m. to noon at the Home Run Inn Original Location at 4254 W 31st St, Chicago, when over 1000 pizzas will be distributed to Chicago homeless shelters. DFSS partners with over 50 shelters across the city, providing over 3000 shelter beds to vulnerable Chicagoans.
In the coming weeks and months, pizza giveaways will be set up for community members at the City’s six Community Service Centers (CSC), Senior Centers, and Early Childhood Learning centers.
