Pizza with a Purpose 2023

Armstrong created Pizza with a Purpose in 2018 through our Breaking Bread initiative to help provide awareness for non-profit organizations in our community. 

Inspired Hearts and Hands (IH2) was founded in 2012 and fully incorporated in 2019.  The inception of the mission began in 2012 as Mindy Schnitgen sought to provide food to families facing poverty in her local neighborhood of Mars and surrounding communities.  As friends, neighbors, and community members joined her, the initiative grew rapidly to also include holiday gifts. It was no longer feasible to run the program from her garage, home, and borrowed office space.  In 2019, after incorporating as a 501(c)(3), IH2 leased a 2500 sq. ft. facility in Gibsonia.  As the program grew in reach and scope, space once again presented an issue.  In 2022, IH2 expanded within the same facility, bringing total footprint to 5000 sq. ft, procuring the equipment necessary to operate more effectively, efficiently, and safely.

2022 Community Impact for IH2:

• Provided more than 1,600 Food Boxes that contained several meals, kid-friendly snacks, and a grocery gift card for fresh proteins and ingredients 
• Provided more than 1,020 Children, Veterans, and Individuals facing poverty with holiday gifts based on personal wish lists (up from 640 in 2021)
• Provided more than 750 Butler County students and families with clothing, athletic shoes, food & supplies for the school year (up from 250 in 2021)
• Hosted monthly after-school programs for disadvantaged elementary students
• Provided more than 500 birthday celebration gifts
• Facility Expanded to 5,000 sq. ft. with upgraded equipment, technology, and process enhancements
