KEEPING A GOOD THOUGHT DURING COVID-19

We’re all going through interesting times to say the least and it can be very unsettling. Let’s please remember to be patient and kind to ourselves and our neighbors as we navigate this historical event.

We are all in this together so let’s take this opportunity to demonstrate understanding and empathy for our community. And know that at some point, we will be back dining and laughing with friends and our playgrounds will once again be filled with happy, jumping, swinging, bouncing children.

Please know that our Pizza Factory teams, in every community, are doing their best to help those in need and we’re making it as easy as possible for folks to get what they want. Good news is, there’s plenty of food to go around so you can still enjoy Pizza Factory from the comfort and safety of your own home. So, if you’ve had all the bologna sandwiches you can eat and you’re craving a great pizza, many of our restaurants are offering delivery, curbside pickup and other options to get you what you need. Download the Pizza Factory Rewards app or call the Pizza Factory in your community for details.

It may be in a few weeks, it may be a few months. Just know that at some point, things will get back to normal.

Until then, we’ll keep the good food coming and let’s all, keep a good thought.

With the donation of a new Buddy Bench, Pizza Factory and Williams Elementary – Middle School are hoping to eliminate bullying by creating a “No Bully Zone,” at the school and creating a friend zone where lonely students can connect with others.

The company, which has one of its 110 franchises located in the town, used the unveiling as an opportunity to talk to the students about bullying and what they can do to combat it. “When I was growing up the bullying wasn’t recognized as much as it is now, so this is a great way to initiate a place to them a place to start,” said Derrick Wortner, Williams Pizza Factory owner.

LINCOLN ELEMENTARY UNVEILS ‘BUDDY BENCH’ AT ANTI-BULLYING ASSEMBLY

Community

Students at Clovis Unified’s Lincoln Elementary are smiling a bit brighter and treating each other with more kindness as they take up the national Great Kindness Challenge, a positive and uplifting program that creates a culture of kindness in schools and communities.

The assembly concluded with the unveiling of a “Buddy Bench,” where children who want to make a new friend or who need a kind word can sit and others will come to help them out. The bench was made possible by community partner, Pizza Factory.

“The bench is designed to give kids a place to go when they feel lonely, sad or when they feel ignored and they need a friend. They can go sit down on this bench and the concept is somebody can see them on the bench and they can reach out to them and they would know that they need a friend,” said Uma Patel, co-owner of Fresno’s Pizza Factory.
