Teen Wins Free Pizza For A Year, Gives It To Homeless Kids Instead

Melty cheese, melting hearts. ๐Ÿ’•

Now this is one dough-lightful act of kindness.

When 19-year-old Hannah Spooner won a Little Caesarโ€™s contest entitling her to $500 dollars worth of pizza for a year, she didnโ€™t start gobbling like many of us would. Instead, the Detroit native toured local philanthropies, searching for the perfect place to donate her prize. She settled on Covenant House Michigan, a shelter for homeless youth ages 18-24. The organization was more than happy to accept.

โ€œOur kids would eat pizza every day,โ€ Melissa Golpe, the centerโ€™s PR director, told The Huffington Post. โ€œWe have a number of generous people that do really special things for our kids.โ€

Once news of Hannahโ€™s donation started making rounds, the Little Caesarโ€™s Love Kitchen threw a free pizza party at Covenant House independent of Hannahโ€™s winnings, Golpe said. The house will use Hannahโ€™s prize for a pizza party to celebrate the finale of its Total Me program, in which students from a local college mentor house residents on various life skills.

Itโ€™s a story of pizza given, given away and then given away again ... you might just call it the โ€œcircle of pie.โ€
