Mia’s Pizza and Eats in Cumming is sponsoring a fundraiser and food drive to help support the continuous efforts of Food for Thought Project, a local charity devoted to ending hunger in Forsyth County.
Each time a customer brings in a non-perishable food donation, Mia’s Pizza will donate 10 percent of that sale to Food for Thought. The fundraiser applies to dine-in or take-out orders only, and does not apply to orders using promotional offers, coupons, or certificates. The fundraiser is an ongoing effort and does not have an end date.
The Food for Thought Project began in April 2011 through the efforts of Shari Nunez and Kim Boudet. Food for Thought makes it easy for the community to support its efforts to feed hungry and needy families: all folks have to do is sign up at www.fftpinc.org, and Food for Thought will deliver an orange bag to be filled with canned goods between pick-up dates.

Food for Thought then comes on scheduled Saturdays, picks up the full orange bags, and drops off a new orange bag to fill. The program makes it easy for even the busiest of folks to donate and contribute.
The project has grown to such a size, that they are collecting in excess of four tons of food on collection dates.

“Currently all of the Food for Thought expenses come directly from our household budgets," said Nunez. "As we grow that (has) become much more cumbersome.”
Mia’s seeks to support not only the collection of non-perishable items but also the monetary needs of the organization.
