Barro's Pizza: Doran Barro Holiday Hunger Fight for St. Mary's Food Bank

On Dec. 7 Barro’s Pizza will host the tenth annual Doran Barro Holiday Hunger Fight benefiting St. Mary’s Food Bank. From open to close at all 46 locations across the Valley, the Barro family will donate 100 percent of the proceeds from all sales to help those in Arizona facing hard times during the holidays.  The Doran Barro Holiday Hunger Fight is named after the matriarch of the Barro family, Doran Barro, who the family lost in 2016. The issue of hunger in Arizona and around the world was very important to Doran so she took on this effort with the support of her family and friends and most importantly, with the support of Barro’s loyal customers who participate each year. The Barro family chose to continue this fundraiser in her honor.  Last year, Barro’s Pizza set a record raising more than $335,000 for St. Mary’s Food Bank and Barro’s is hoping to set a new record, this year.

One large pizza = 70 meals
One order of wings = 42 meals
One side salad = 25 meals
One fountain drink = 13 meals
