Austin Area Papa Murphy’s To Hold Fundraiser For The Capital Area Food Bank

AUSTIN, TX: This Valentine’s Day, Austin area Papa Murphy’s will ‘show the love’ for their community by turning the HeartBaker Pizza into a fundraising tool for the Capital Area Food Bank.  Sixteen area Papa Murphy’s Take ‘N Bake Pizza locations across Hill Country will participate.

For each HeartBaker Pizza sold between February 6-14, one dollar will be donated to the Capital Area Food Bank. The HeartBaker Pizza is a long-loved seasonal pizza in the shape of a heart offered by Papa Murphy’s during and around Valentine’s Day.

“At Papa Murphy’s, it’s our mission to provide busy families with the opportunity to gather together at dinnertime to enjoy the food they love with the people they love,” said local Papa Murphy’s franchisee and Austin Co-op President Doug Miller. “With this focus on feeding families, it only seems natural to partner with a great cause like the Capital Area Food Bank. And with each $1 donation providing 2.5 meals, by picking up a HeartBaker Pizza this Valentine’s Day, you’ll do much more than feed your own family. You’ll feed a family in need as well.”

“A special thank you to Papa Murphy’s for partnering with the Capital Area Food Bank during a critical time in our community. This support goes a long way in nourishing local families and in the fight against hunger” – Joanna Linden, Chief Development Officer, Capital Area Food Bank.
