🚨 Random act of kindness and a draw to win 1 FREE PIZZA (2 winners) from Domino's Pizza Chestermere 🚨

The start of the school year can be rough for many families. The cost of getting your kids ready for school can be overwhelming. At Domino's Pizza Chestermere , we want to do our part! 🎒✨

We are giving away 24 FREE backpacks to the community to help those in need. Plus we bought school supplies to go with each bag. Our mission isn't just to make pizza — we're part of this community, and we're here to help whenever you need it! ❤️

**IMPORTANT:** Every comment and share of this post enters you for a chance to win a FREE Large Pizzas! (2 winners)** 🍕🍕

The goal is to spread awareness about this gesture and reach families who need it. If you have children starting school and need a backpack or supplies send them to our store

🎒 Each bag contains: a bag, a notebook, pens, erasers, a highlighter, glue, colored pencils, a pencil sharpener.

⚠️First come, first serve, 1 bag per family— while supplies last!! You have to reside in chestermere to get the bag.

We're not just pizzerias, we're here for YOU! 🤝

Abuse comes in many forms, economic abuse is one of them. Read below to learn more.

The more we talk about it, the easier it becomes to recognize the signs, support survivors, and challenge the misconceptions that allow economic abuse to go unseen.
