CANTON — The hungry people who showed up for the <strong>Salvation</strong> <strong>Army</strong>’s weekly<br />
lunch were delivered a surprise: <strong>Pizza</strong>.<br />
Those who came <strong>to</strong> the citadel at 420 Market Ave. S were treated Monday <strong>to</strong><br />
hundreds of slices. Five Stark County <strong>Pizza</strong> <strong>Hut</strong>s each prepared and delivered 20<br />
<strong>pizzas</strong>.<br />
It was a nice menu change for a group that may not otherwise be able <strong>to</strong> afford a<br />
pizza meal, said the <strong>Salvation</strong> <strong>Army</strong> Major Tom Hinzman.<br />
“The people were very surprised. They were excited,” he said.<br />
The delivery was engineered by Hallrich Inc., which owns 80 <strong>Pizza</strong> <strong>Hut</strong> restaurants<br />
in 18 Ohio counties.<br />
It’s part of the program the company launched <strong>to</strong> deliver pizza from 47 restaurants<br />
<strong>to</strong> 19 hot-meal programs.<br />
“We will make this donation in an effort <strong>to</strong> relieve some of the needs, particularly of those who are hungry right here in Northeastern Ohio,” A.E. Szambecki,<br />
Hallrich’s chief executive officer, said in a statement.<br />
“Restaurant companies like mine are struggling as many businesses, but we surviving and it (is) simply the right time <strong>to</strong> do something good.”<br />
Hinzman said his organization would welcome similar donations from other area companies. Those interested can call the <strong>Salvation</strong> <strong>Army</strong> at 330-453-0159.<br />

It is so nice <strong>to</strong> hear of someone doing something good.<br />
Vic<strong>to</strong>r Colaianni<br />
News/articles like this shows that despite what some folks who appear in the 'opinion' columns of the Rep and here in the comments forum say -- Can<strong>to</strong>n still has some fine points such as<br />
businesses going the extra mile that Hallrich's (<strong>Pizza</strong> <strong>Hut</strong>) has. Kudos!!<br />

honestly people, there is someone flipping the bill for this. Probably tax payer money, this is ridiculous. My opinion is people who go <strong>to</strong> soup kitchens are the same people pan handling and<br />
asking people for money down<strong>to</strong>wn. They need <strong>to</strong> s<strong>to</strong>p mooching off society and get a job<br />

Go <strong>Pizza</strong> <strong>Hut</strong>!<br />

Very nice PH.<br />
mary v parker<br />
jdawg987 How much did this cost you? If you don't want <strong>to</strong> help others, that's your business, but why throw a wrench in<strong>to</strong> a good gesture that someone else does?<br />
kitty burgett<br />
It <strong>to</strong>ok about an hour after you first predicted it, theame19. We keep hearing, 'Let people choose when <strong>to</strong> be charitable!' Then when someone does just that, we hear complaining. Why is it so<br />
difficult <strong>to</strong> accept that not EVERYTHING come out of YOUR pocket? Just because you are not familiar with the concept of giving, doesn't mean it doesn't live in the hearts of others.<br />

Very generous, although I think their pizza is not up <strong>to</strong> par with any of the other chains, but kudos!<br />

Some people would complain if the owner of <strong>Pizza</strong> <strong>Hut</strong> donated and delivered those <strong>pizzas</strong> <strong>to</strong> THEIR doorstep himself.<br />

midnightmoses<br />
I think I will order a couple of P'Zones for lunch, <strong>to</strong>day. Nice gesture, PH. And, jdawg987, I'd still feed even you if you should ever be in the situation alot of people are finding themselves in these days.<br />

Did you pay for all those <strong>pizzas</strong> Frank?<br />

Obviously, you have never helped out at a soup kitchen. You should try it sometime, it might change your perceptions. Lots of children, handicapped and old people. You wanna hire them?<br />

What a wonderful thing <strong>to</strong> do. thank you <strong>Pizza</strong> <strong>Hut</strong>, and God bless all those who were involved <strong>to</strong> make this happen.<br />

A good promotional for business. But it is cheaper <strong>to</strong> make home made <strong>pizzas</strong> at home.<br />
Go Eagles<br />
What a great s<strong>to</strong>ry! I just found out that Olive Garden does this <strong>to</strong>o with lef<strong>to</strong>ver food at night. Those less fortunate surely appreciate this!<br />

'But it is cheaper <strong>to</strong> make home made <strong>pizzas</strong> at home.' Take a bun, lay it open, spread Ragu on <strong>to</strong>p and then parm cheeze. Pop in<strong>to</strong> the <strong>to</strong>aster oven. Tastes real good shortly after 4:20.<br />

As one of those who has had <strong>to</strong> give up the extras, like delivery pizza, I <strong>to</strong>tally think this was a great kindness. It is amazing how much you enjoy a pizza when you have <strong>to</strong> give it up for a while,<br />
<strong>to</strong> have it be a <strong>to</strong>tal surprise is even better. Yeah, it got them publicity, good for them. They could not have known that in advance.<br />

Good <strong>to</strong> hear, I'm sure it was greatly apreciated. I find nothing wrong with <strong>Pizza</strong> <strong>Hut</strong> <strong>pizzas</strong>.<br />
kitty burgett<br />
To make home made pizza at home, first you have <strong>to</strong> have a home.<br />

wow a company gives something back <strong>to</strong> a city and still gets ripped? fark? well next time you buy <strong>100</strong> of anything and give it away i will be more then happy <strong>to</strong> publicly pat you on the back as well.<br />
GOOD JOB from THE HUT/WING STREET<br />

Way <strong>to</strong> go, local <strong>Pizza</strong> <strong>Hut</strong>s!<br />

keithincan<strong>to</strong>n, I didn't rip <strong>Pizza</strong> <strong>Hut</strong>, in fact I gave them a clap. I ripped the Rep for putting this 'news' item as the featured article on the website. Besides, if I bought <strong>100</strong> of something and gave<br />
it away, I'm doing it out of generosity, not for the need for a public pat on the back. And its called just 'giving', not 'giving back'. Giving back implies that the folks at the <strong>Salvation</strong> <strong>Army</strong> first gave<br />
something <strong>to</strong> <strong>Pizza</strong> <strong>Hut</strong>, or else <strong>Pizza</strong> <strong>Hut</strong> forcible <strong>to</strong>ok something, and is now giving it back.<br />
doncirelli<br />
I doubt the recipients of this kindness knew, or even cared, whether <strong>Pizza</strong> <strong>Hut</strong> was getting some '<strong>free</strong> publicity' out of this. All they knew was that they got <strong>to</strong> eat like the rest of America for a little while.<br />
Personally, I don't care what motivated the managers at <strong>Pizza</strong> <strong>Hut</strong> <strong>to</strong> donate their excellent product. It doesn't cost me anything <strong>to</strong> commend them for their generosity. I like their pizza. I eat there once<br />
in awhile, anyway. But I will feel even better next time I go there, knowing that this company shares with the less fortunate. Good for them. Please do this again, sometime.
