The Original Spaghetti House Pizzeria is offering 900 hot lunches to anyone in need on Christmas Day according to a Facebook post by owner Ilir Sino posted on Tuesday.
“I will like to thank all 900 people who share my invitation for Christmas Day for free hot lunch for people in need,” said Sino. “I'm blessed to be part of this community and I will do anything to help the people of this community.”
The Original Spaghetti House Pizzeria is located at 512 George St. S. off the corner of Lansdowne Street. The hot lunches will be available for carryout from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Sino is no stranger to philanthropy as he has donated $1,500 to Alternatives Community Program Services Peterborough last month. He has also donated to local sports teams and other charities.
“This is the first time we invite our friends to be part of our family for Christmas but it will not be the last,” remarked Sino.
He opened his own production facility, Sino’s Fine Foods, located at 597 Monaghan Rd. in the summer. The business produces his sauces, dressings, soups, oven-ready dinners and more.
