It’s always nice to hear when someone does something nice for another person.
For one homeless person, a random act of kindness from a Little Caesar’s restaurant in Fargo, North Dakota, ensured that they would be able to forego digging in the trash for food and enjoy a warm meal inside the pizzeria.
After employees at a local Little Caesar’s noticed a homeless person rummaging through the garbage, they opted against getting angry about it. Instead, they decided to write a note, encouraging them to go inside the restaurant during business hours for a meal.
One woman, Rachel Nistler, was so impressed by the restaurant’s actions that she posted a photo of the sign on her Twitter feed to make sure the restaurant got the attention it deserves.
The note reads:
“To the person going through our trash for their next meal, you’re a human being and worth more than a meal from the dumpster. Please come in during operating hours for a couple of slices of hot pizza and a cup of water at no charge. No questions asked.”
This isn’t the first time this Little Caesar’s restaurant has reached out to help those in need.
The franchise is owned by Mike Stevens and his wife, Jenny. They have a track record of helping their local community. For example, they’ve given pizzas to their local Salvation Army, Moorhead’s Dorothy Day House, and New Life Center in the past. Because they’re committed to keeping their pizzas fresh, Mike and his staff make sure that if a pizza has sat out for 30 minutes or longer without selling, it gets put in the freezer and is later picked up by a homeless shelter with hungry mouths to feed. The restaurant also collects inspirational notes from customers, which are delivered to local shelters with the pizzas.
As if regularly donating pizzas isn’t enough, the Fargo Little Caesar’s restaurant has a change collection box in the front of the store where customers can leave spare change. That spare change is later used to purchase pizzas for local homeless shelters.
Mike and Jenny Stevens have been operating their Fargo pizza restaurant in this manner for the better part of two years.
Since 2015, they have donated more than 90,000 pizza slices to homeless individuals and local shelters.
They do so not for the attention, but rather because they truly want to help improve the lives of those in their local community.
