Domino's Pizza said on the 26th that it visited the Hanbit Unit ahead of its deployment to South Sudan to deliver pizzas and encourage the troops.
Domino's Pizza visited the International Peace Support Group in Gyeyang-gu, Incheon, on the 25th and delivered pizzas via the Partycar to soldiers of the Hanbit Unit of the South Sudan Reconstruction Support Group.
The Hanbit Unit has been carrying out a deployment mission since 2013 to provide medical support for civilians, maintain peace, and conduct reconstruction projects in South Sudan in Africa, which is experiencing civil war, and is set to deploy to South Sudan on Apr. 7.
Domino's Pizza's Partycar is a food truck equipped with full pizza-making facilities that began its first run in Oct. 2008 and has since traveled about 500,000 kilometers to carry out pizza-sharing activities. The number of pizzas used by the Partycar for sharing last year reached about 2,700. These pizzas were delivered to neighbors in need, such as youth preparing for self-reliance and people with disabilities, or used to sponsor events with social significance, such as suicide prevention campaigns.
Meanwhile, Domino's Pizza said it donated a 50 million won scholarship last year to the Korea Defense Scholarship Foundation for the children of service members who died in the line of duty or were injured, and, in collaboration with the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs and the Korea Social Welfare Society, delivered pizzas via the Partycar to the Suwon Veterans Home. In addition, since 2015, it has held Heroes Day on Armed Forces Day and offered discount benefits to service members.
