Fight Food Insecurity + Support Local Pizzerias
Sponsor a Pizza Delivery
Your tax deductible donation will send pizza to people facing food insecurity.
How It Works
Make a donation
Your tax deductible contribution will be used to fund pizza deliveries to shelters and soup kitchens around the U.S. You can even identify the region you’d like your dollars to feed to keep your donation local.
We identify the need
We work with a network of hunger relief organizations across country to deliver pizza to people experiencing food insecurity.
Slice matches a local pizzeria
Our partners at Slice find a nearby pizzeria and ensure that they can accommodate the care center’s needs. We then place the order using donations we’ve collected. All additional fees have been waived for orders placed through Slice.
The Pie It Forward campaign is our collaboration with Slice.
Our Progress
Our Pie it Forward program launched on Pi Day in 2022. During the first two years of the program, we:
Delivered 6,500 pizzas
Made over 200 pizza deliveries to hunger relief organizations
Feeding 17k+ individuals experiencing food insecurity
In 2024, we’d like to double these numbers! Help us get there by dough-nating today!
Request a Pizza Delivery
Do you operate or are you connected to a shelter, soup kitchen, senior center, food bank, or any other hunger relief organization that could use some pizza love?
Please fill out this form if you operate or are connected to a shelter, soup kitchen, senior center, food bank, or any other hunger relief organization and would like to receive a pizza delivery. One of our volunteers will call to verify your request.
With our current level of funding, we’re typically able to fulfil one request per organization once every 9-12 months. If you’ve received pizza from us previously, but it’s been a while, feel free to fill out the request form again!
If you’re a pizzeria who would like a local hunger relief organization to donate & deliver pies to, fill out our sponsored-delivery request form.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who does this benefit? The pizzas will be sent to hunger action centers — soup kitchens, shelters, senior centers, clinics, food banks, school free lunch programs— that are in real need during this difficult time. An analysis conducted by Feeding America estimates that in 2022, 49 million people (16.6% of the total US population) didn’t have enough to eat.
Additionally, since these pizza orders will be funded by your donations, we’ll also provide much needed revenue to the small businesses serving food to their local communities nationwide.
Does a donor need to cover the full price of a pizza for it to be delivered? No. We take donations of any size. Your donation will be pooled with everyone else’s and used to order whatever amount of food is necessary.
Are delivery drivers following health and safety protocols to limit the spread of COVID-19?
Yes. We work with both the hunger action center and pizzeria to determine the safest means of delivery, including curb-side drop-off.
Who is coordinating the requests on behalf of the hunger action centers ? Volunteers with Slice Out Hunger communicate with care centers, the team at Slice work with the pizzerias. If you’re interested in volunteering virtually for this project, let us know!
