POCATELLO —Approximately 125 people in need received lunch at the Salvation Army on Monday thanks to “The Little Caesars Love Kitchen.”

    The pizza kitchen on wheels travels across the continental United States and Canada to meet the needs of the hungry, the homeless and disaster survivors.

    “The Love Kitchen was created to provide quality meals for people who need them,” said Little Caesars Franchise Owner Dustin Preece. “As a member of the area business community, it’s important for us to support people when they need it and help make the community stronger. We’re excited to support this program with food and staff to provide a quality meal for people who otherwise may not get one.”

    Former Presidents Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush awarded “The President's Volunteer Action Award Citation” to Little Caesars for its volunteers' contributions to the love kitchen. Little Caesars also received a Presidential Citation for Private Sector Initiatives for the Love Kitchen program under the Reagan administration.

    “We know that it’s important to reach out to the communities where we do business and help make a difference,” said David Scrivano, president and chief executive officer of Little Caesars Inc. “As a family company, we are proud to work together with our local franchisees and company-owned stores to coordinate the vehicle, staff and food and to be there for the people in Pocatello who need assistance.”

    The Little Caesars Love Kitchen has responded to disasters such as the recent tornadoes in Oklahoma, the hurricanes in the East and on the Gulf Coast, the site of the World Trade Center attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 and the 1995 Federal Building bombing in Oklahoma City.

    The Love Kitchen was established by Little Caesars in 1985.
