BOISE: This Valentine’s Day, Treasure Valley area Papa Murphy’s Take ‘N Bake Pizza locations will show the love for their community by turning the HeartBaker Pizza into a fundraising tool for The Idaho Foodbank. Seventeen area Papa Murphy’s locations across Idaho will participate.

For each HeartBaker Pizza sold between Feb. 6 and Feb. 14, Papa Murphy’s will donate one dollar to The Idaho Foodbank. Each dollar donated through the sale of a HeartBaker Pizza provides three meals for Idahoans in need.

The HeartBaker Pizza is a long-loved seasonal pizza in the shape of a heart offered by Papa Murphy’s during and around Valentine’s Day.

“At Papa Murphy’s, it’s our mission to provide busy families with the opportunity to gather together at dinnertime to enjoy the food they love with the people they love,” said local Papa Murphy’s franchisee and Boise Co-op President Doug Miller. “With this focus on feeding families, it only seems natural to partner with a great cause like the Idaho Foodbank. And with each $1 donation providing three meals, by picking up a HeartBaker Pizza this Valentine’s Day, you’ll do much more than feed your own family. You’ll feed a family in need as well.”

“We continue to see a high level of need for our services, and the From the Heart campaign gives us a real boost this winter," said Karen Vauk, President and CEO of The Idaho Foodbank. "Hunger is a problem that impacts families and seniors in every neighborhood and region, often regardless of employment status. The Idaho Foodbank and our network of partners serve those who need help during challenging financial times until they are able to move forward. The From the Heart campaign will enable us to better assist those families, and we are very grateful to Papa Murphy’s for their commitment."
