On Pi Day, Dine at Mellow Mushroom – Lynchburg and Give Back to Local Healthcare Workers
LYNCHBURG, VA, March 13, 2023 – Local residents will make Pi Day (March 14) extra special for the hardworking medical staff at two health care facilities in Lynchburg. Workers and volunteers at Horizon Behavioral Health and Johnson Health Center (JHC) will be the beneficiaries of Mellow Mushroom’s “Pie for A Pie” community effort. On Pi Day, every pizza purchased (dine in, to go, online) turns into one pizza pie donated to staff and volunteers at the two healthcare providers.
Pizzas must be purchased on March 14 from the Mellow Mushroom – Lynchburg location on 1220 Greenview Drive.
“This community has supported our Mellow Mushroom since we opened a few years ago and we feel it is important for us to give back to those who work so hard to keep us all healthy,” said local Mellow Mushroom store co-owner Brit Campbell. “We’re encouraging our neighbors to join us for lunch or dinner at Mellow Mushroom on March 14 so we can support these important community members!”
“We are so appreciative that Mellow Mushroom in Lynchburg is donating pizza pies to Johnson Health Center’s dedicated and hard-working employees,” said JHC Associate Director of Development, Lauren Grimmett.
Matt Hartsook, Chief Financial Officer for Horizon Behavioral Health, says, “We are so grateful to the community we serve and Mellow Mushroom – Lynchburg for providing a special lunch for our employees.”
