Special Delivery


The National Guard moved in immediately following Hurricane Rita, the nasty sister to Katrina, seldom heard about, but equally as crippling in Louisiana. Electricity was out for at least 3 weeks in the southwest part of the state. Businesses were boarded up and closed, residents evacuated and properties were completely destroyed. Fuel was unavailable and food could not be purchased.

Quite impressively, through all of those hardships and debilitating circumstances, Dominoes still delivered. Not always a first choice of pizza, but they were a welcomed sight in a horrific time of yet another disaster.

The good folks at Dominoes also provided the pizzas and drinks at no cost to us. They did not use this act of generosity as a marketing vehicle or publicity stunt or self promotion, but quietly contributed to their community that was in need, showing appreciation to the men and women that stepped up to give assistance to their home town when their home town was shut down. I have never seen public recognition or thanks for this kind act so let me shout it out. THANK YOU DOMINOES! It meant a great deal to us all.
