A slice of pizza could help fight hunger in Lenawee County next week, thanks to a partnership between Downtown Dempsey’s and the South Michigan Food Bank.
The locally owned Adrian pizzeria is donating $1 for every pizza sold Aug. 4-9 to support families facing food insecurity, according to a community announcement.
The weeklong campaign aims to boost food bank donations and community spirit — and every dollar raised will be matched by the Lenawee Community Foundation, doubling the impact.
Dempsey’s is known for wood-fired pies and a welcoming atmosphere. Whether dining in or ordering out, customers who purchase pizza during the campaign will be helping provide fresh, nutritious food to neighbors in need.

“You can’t spell ‘community’ without ‘unity.’ Here’s our chance to come together and support our neighbors,” said Tiffany Sieler, co-owner of Downtown Dempsey’s.
South Michigan Food Bank serves eight counties, including Lenawee, where about 1 in 7 people face food insecurity, according to the announcement. The food bank partners with more than 380 agencies to distribute food throughout the region.
