Mobile pizzeria serving a free lunch to Portland’s homeless
Portland, Ore., - On Friday, October 19th 2 – 3:45pm Little Caesars Love kitchen truck will be parking in front of the Union Gospel Mission at 15 NW Third to serve pizza to Portland’s homeless. This is the fifth time that Little Caesars has partnered with Union Gospel Mission to serve the homeless.
Little Caesars anticipates providing pizza for more than 300 people (that’s approximately 720 slices) on Friday afternoon during Union Gospel Mission’s afternoon meal. The Mission serves more than 700 meals a day on average to those in need in the community.
“Yay!!!! This is always a fun day for the homeless and us,” says Lori Quinney Union Gospel Mission’s Food Service Coordinator.
The Little Caesars Love Kitchen travels all over the United States to help those in need. They operate two trucks allowing them to serve 365 days a year. Little Caesars franchise owners donate the resources needed to make the Love Kitchen possible as well as provide volunteers to support the program.
