Sino made the announcement on his Facebook last Thursday and is inviting Peterborough and the surrounding area to come grab a meal.

“Sino's family tradition is every Easter Sunday and Christmas Day, we will welcome everyone in need for free a meal and dessert from my family, as long as I'm alive,” said Sino in his Facebook post. “When I'm gone, my children will continue this tradition for our city.”

A full staff will be on hand to help Sino cook and distribute the meals.

Sino has had a history of philanthropy as he donated $1,500 to Alternatives Community Program Services Peterborough last November. He has also donated to local sports teams and other charities.

The Original Spaghetti House Pizzeria is located at 512 George St. S. off the corner of Lansdowne Street.

He opened his own production facility, Sino’s Fine Foods, located at 597 Monaghan Rd. last summer. The business produces his sauces, dressings, soups, oven-ready dinners and more.
