Baking 100,000 pizzas to offer to Ukrainian refugees on the border with Poland: this is the objective of the humanitarian convoy that left from the Italpizza plant in Modena and will take twenty volunteers to settle at the Polish first reception center in Przemyl, just 15 km from the Ukrainian border and on the road to Lviv.

Ten vehicles, including the first Italpizza truck carrying frozen pizzas, campers, an ambulance, a van and a truck loaded with equipment. The volunteers are workers from Italpizza and its partner companies, volunteers from the Blue Cross of Modena and the Green Cross of Pavullo, with 15 ovens in tow to cook the pizzas for the refugees.

After the fundraising campaign in which over 1,000 employees of the group took part and for which Italpizza doubled its value, the Modenese company - which produces top-quality frozen pizzas, with dough that has risen for over 24 hours - proposed itself as leader of a humanitarian mission on the border with Ukraine to cook and offer free ready meals (pizzas) to Ukrainian refugees.

After a careful analysis of the context, the Embassy of Ukraine in Italy indicated the first reception center of Przemyl in Poland as the place where to establish for a few weeks the base camp and the refreshment area. Hence the need to organize the transport of 15 ovens and people who can take care of heating the pizzas and serving them.
