Pop’s Italian Beef & Sausage Launches Holiday Give-Back Initiative with Toys for Tots
Chicago-Based Restaurant Brand Offers Customers Free Soda for Each Toy Donation Made at Local Restaurant Locations
CHICAGO, Ill. – Donate a toy, leave with a free pop! Pop’s Italian Beef & Sausage is ringing in the season of giving through the launch of its donation drive with Toys for Tots.
The flagship Chicago-based restaurant will participate in the Toys for Tots’ initiative, delivering hope to less fortunate children.
To donate, customers can bring toys to the Chicago restaurant, located at 10337 S. Kedzie Ave. during their next visit.
Toys are to be placed in any of the red toyboxes located inside of the stores. In exchange for their participation, customers will receive a free soda at the time of their donation.
“We have always been inspired to give back to our local community in any way that we can, especially during the holiday season,” said Kacie Radochonski, Director of Operations for Pop’s Italian Beef & Sausage.
“Through this donation drive with Toys For Tots, we will be able to make a positive impact on the lives of children in need while rewarding our customers for doing the same. Philanthropy is one of the values that our family business was built on, and we look forward to continuing our mission for many years to come.”
The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to help bring the joy of Christmas through the gift of a new toy and send a message of hope for America’s less fortunate children. Customers of Pop’s Italian Beef & Sausage can begin making donations today. The deadline to drop off toy donations at Pop’s locations is December 10th, 2021.
