Quick Hits for September 24th: Ottawa Storm Inspires Free Delivery from Dominos, HOW YOU Can Help NOW, Your Invite to a Musical Fundraiser for Dunrobin

Domino’s Delivers

The Ottawa Storm inspires local businesses to step up. Owner of the 464 Bank Street & Campeau Drive Domino’s Pizza locations immediately stepped up and donated 50 fresh, hot pizzas (with delivery bags, plates, napkins) for KiSS 1053 to hand out in heavily affected areas of Ottawa. While collecting the pies to personally deliver to first responders, maintenance workers, arborists, hydro teams and families in need, staff was overheard saying

‘We’re running low on dough, or there’d be more!’

Think @dominos (464 Bank St. & Campeau Drive) the next time you call for delivery. They donated 50 pizzas to @kissottawa & we were able to give a warm meal to first responders, arborists, hydro workers, maintenance crews and families affected by the storm. While supporting local businesses, keep them in mind. ??
