The Community Pizza Box Partnership

pizzerialocale Neighborhood Neapolitan

This month, we are teaming up with Conscious Alliance (a nonprofit organization committed to supporting communities in crisis through hunger relief and youth empowerment) for a Community Pizza Box Series. Together we are working to raise $10,000 to fill an entire semi-truck with food donations.

With your help we can support families in need across Colorado during a truly difficult time. Conscious Alliance, Executive Director, Justin Levy put this effort in perspective,

Right now, 1 in 10 Coloradans struggle with hunger. As we continue to recover from an unprecedented year, families continue to rely on food banks and community meal programs more than ever below. Pizzeria Locale’s goal to raise $10K this March will help us distribute 20K meals across the Front Range. We’re thrilled to see local partners finding creative ways step up in the fight hunger right here in our own community/”

What is Conscious Alliance?

Conscious Alliance is a local network of creative people—artists, musicians, food makers, and fans—who use their time and talents to feed families in need. The organization began when its founders—avid concert-goers—imagined what might happen if everyone attending a concert brought something with them to help feed the hungry. And Art That Feeds was born! The first Art That Feeds Food Drive took place in 2002 at The Fillmore Auditorium in Denver with The String Cheese Incident. More than 4,000 meals were collected at that concert, and Conscious Alliance never looked back. These food drives now take place at hundreds of concerts and festivals across the United States, including right here in Colorado.

What’s the Pizzeria Locale partnership about?

All throughout March, our pizzas will be served in a custom box designed by local artist, Monte Mitchell, who specializes in logos and typography—and believe us the box is beautiful! The design is bold and vibrant, a display of blues with accents of magenta and yellow. It weaves various patterns with a botanical border, and adds icons that represent Conscious Alliance’s five pillars (music, art, food, action, and community).

The boxes are available at all four Pizzeria Locale locations in Denver, honoring the organization’s mission to end hunger in under served communities nationwide through a movement of artists, musicians, food makers and music lovers.

In addition on March 24th, Pizzeria Locale will participate in a Pizza Night with Conscious Alliance at Wyatt Academy, in the Whittier neighborhood of Denver. There will be a drive-through at the school for families to come to pick up Pizzeria Locale pizzas for their own Pizza Night dinners.

How can I help?

There are two ways to get involved.

Pizzeria Locale is hosting a digital fundraiser all day on Tuesday, March 9th. 33% of all sales from the four Denver Pizzeria Locale’s will be donated to Conscious Alliance.

Why it’s important

One in ten Coloradans is currently experiencing hunger, with families all over the state relying on food banks and soup kitchens to provide needed nutrition. Pizzeria Locale is grateful for the opportunity to support Conscious Alliance’s meaningful work helping families and individuals struggling with food insecurity.

Our goal is to raise $10,000 this month but what does that really mean? Well, it translates into 20,000 meals that Conscious Alliance will distribute across the Front Range. With your help we can fight hunger in our community, and we’re thrilled to have you on board with the effort. Together we’re dedicated to filling a truck full of food for our fellow Coloradans in need!

The Community Pizza Box program was designed to raise awareness and funds for organizations doing meaningful work in the Denver community and do it in a creative, fun way through art. This month’s partnership aligns perfectly with those goals, since Conscious Alliance is known not only for fighting hunger but also for working with and supporting amazing artists. We’re proud to be working together in this fight against hunger!
