Domino’s is teaming up with the New Glasgow Farmers Market to help fight food insecurity in Pictou County.
On August 18th, Domino’s New Glasgow will have a Large 3 topping pizza on sale for $13.99 and $5 from every pizza sold will be donated to the Nourishing Communities program, helping local families access fresh, healthy food through the New Glasgow Farmers Market.
The goal is to sell 1,000 pizzas, raising $5,000 – enough to provide healthy food for approximately 42 local families in Pictou County for an entire month.
Every pizza purchased makes a difference by helping families, supporting local farmers, and strengthening our community.
About Nourishing Communities
