The giving season is right around the corner, and many need to survive through the winter. Thankfully, Jet’s Pizza, known for delicious Detroit-style pizza, has taken the initiative to help underserved youth spread cheer with delicious (free) pizzas through the blistery Chicago winter. As they host their 2nd annual Winter Drive throughout the month of November, Jet’s is looking for children’s winter accessories, including new or like-new hats, gloves, scarves, and fresh pairs of socks.
To help rally for as many donations as possible to benefit the children of Chicago Youth Programs, those that donate a requested item within the month will receive a small, one-topping pizza free of charge as a thank you from Jet’s for their kindness.
Jet’s Pizza 2nd Annual Winter Drive
as they welcome the return of their 2nd annual winter drive, Jet’s Pizza® invites customers to join forces in keeping at-risk youth warm this year.
The drive will run from Monday, November 1, through Tuesday, November 30. Supplies raised will support the non-profit organization’s 37-year journey to improve health and life opportunities for at-risk youth ages 3-25.
For years, Jet’s has earned a reputation for its passion for giving back to the neighborhoods they serve. As a life-long Chicagoan, David Falato, the owner of Jet’s Pizza Chicagoland, has seen our city suffering and realized that our kids are getting left behind the most.
“We have taken young men and women and have given them lifelong careers and have worked to support our community with drives like our annual winter drive for Chicago Youth Programs! ” Said David Falato of Jet’s Pizza Chicagoland.

By making a long-term investment, CYP strikes for creating a long-term impact. With their unique approach, CYP’s involvement can begin as early as birth.
