Toronto, Nov. 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pizza Nova marks its seventh year of partnership with Student Nutrition Ontario with a donation of $41,600. Today, Domenic Primucci, president of Pizza Nova, presented a cheque to Student Nutrition Ontario at Cedarbrae Public School in Waterloo, Ontario.

Pizza Nova’s partnership with Student Nutrition Ontario (SNO) found proud beginnings in 2015 with ‘Coins for Breakfast,’ a program that supports Student Nutrition Ontario with in-store donation boxes throughout all participating Pizza Nova locations. To date, Pizza Nova has raised $223,142 for Student Nutrition Ontario.

“We strongly believe in making our food with quality ingredients and love. And it is important for us that children across Ontario start their days with a nourishing, sustaining breakfast and have successful days at school,” said Domenic Primucci. “We are grateful to our loyal customers for their generosity—they help keep children well fed and able to focus at school.”

There are 4,450 Student Nutrition Programs serving nearly 1 million students across the province each school day.

“Pizza Nova’s generous donation through the ‘Coins for Breakfast Program’ is greatly appreciated,” said Catherine Parsonage, Chair of Student Nutrition Ontario. “There are so many children in need across this province and school nutrition programs play a crucial role in ensuring that children have access to the nourishment they need to start their day.”
