Grandma Loves You<\/a> celebrated its seventh anniversary in March. But last May, the business released an upgrade of their viral Chicken Ceasar Wrap: the Pizza Ceasar Wrap.<\/p>\nSarah Davoodi, co-owner of Grandma Loves You, said this new menu item is one of her favourites, too. \u201cMy two favourite things. If I eat pizza, I love to have a ceasar salad on the side. We tried it out and it\u2019s like super, super tasty.\u201d<\/p>\n
In honour of Grandma Loves You\u2019s seventh anniversary and the first anniversary of the new Pizza Ceasar Wrap, co-owners Sarah and Artin Davoodi decided to launch the 30 days of love campaign, hoping to raise $30,000 in 30 days.<\/p>\n
Uber Eats is also participating in this initiative. Every order has free delivery for the month, subsidizing 30 per cent off for Grandma Loves You so they can spend that $3 on the food bank.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the first time that they all agreed to something like this\u2026 They\u2019re so excited to do it with us,\u201d Artin Davoodi told Now Toronto.<\/p>\n
As a food-centred business, the Davoodi\u2019s \u200bdecided to celebrate their anniversary through the gift of food, helping those dealing with food insecurity.<\/p>\n
Their kids\u2019 school held an event where parents and children could volunteer to support food banks. Through that experience, they were inspired to do the same through Grandma Loves You.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we were helping as volunteers for this event at the school\u2026 once you really go to the food bank and see the lineups, it\u2019s something else.\u201d Sarah Davoodi said.<\/p>\n
Inspired by that experience, Sarah and Artin Davoodi spent one month planning and reaching out to the community to spread the word.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur slogan, which we are trying to always say, \u2018Everybody spread love, not crumbs.\u2019 And everything fits\u2026 it was kind of a perfect circle moment,\u201d Sarah Davoodi said.<\/p>\n
She\u2019s hoping to continue this yearly if the campaign is successful.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t describe what kind of rewards I can give you back without the community, without the support of Toronto\u2026 Everyone supported us from the first year\u2026 exactly with the first lockdown. So we got so much support to survive\u2026 So to give back means everything to me,\u201d Sarah Davoodi said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What to know Grandma Loves You is donating $3 from every Pizza Caesar Wrap to Daily Bread Food…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":31357,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[14333,13233,14334,14335,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-31356","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-toronto","8":"tag-daily-bread-food-bank","9":"tag-fundraiser","10":"tag-grandma-loves-you","11":"tag-pizza-ceasar-wrap","12":"tag-toronto"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31356","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31356"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31356\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31356"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31356"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31356"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
