Palermo's Pizza held its 3rd annual Easter Baskets for the Hungry drive on March 31st, 2010. The event was made possible by generous sponsor donations and a partnership with the Hunger Task Force of Milwaukee. Over thirty office employees and a handful of volunteers helped distribute non-perishable food items into 1000 bins! Scott Walker even stopped by to lend a hand. Canned vegetables, fruit juice, rice, cereal, potatoes, and jellybeans were just a few of the items inside the bins. Each filled tote will feed one family for an entire week. At the end of the day, Palermo's collected over 22,000 pounds of food for needy families this Easter. Please visit some of the links below to get a firsthand glimpse of what was accomplished.
