Thank you to this amazing group from Flyers Pizza & Subs! We appreciate your continued support!

600 boxes packed. 100+ food items donated. One great day of giving back.

Our Flyers volunteer team recently spent time at Buddy Box Connection, helping pack 600 Buddy Boxes for local children. Flyers staff also donated more than 100 food items to support the cause.

Formerly known as Family Mentor Foundation, Buddy Box Connection works to bridge the weekend hunger gap by providing children with kid-friendly, nutritious food to take home when school meals aren't available.

We’re proud of our employee owners for giving their time, donating food and helping an organization doing important work right here in Central Ohio. ❤️
