MOD Pizza's Book 'All Pizzas Welcome' Discusses Inclusiveness
Grace Mahas — October 31, 2019 — Social Good
Seattle-based MOD Pizza recently partnered with the creative agency Observatory and Best Buddies International -- a nonprofit that helps to fosters leadership and bring together individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) -- to launch the new inclusive book titled 'All Pizzas Welcome.'
The book features the poetry of Andrea Gibson in addition to stories from MOD Pizza's 'MOD Squad' of differently-abled individuals. Promoting the book launch is the 'Our World' Campaign which features people of varying abilities discussing the need for inclusivity and by sharing the personal stories of these individuals, MOD hopes to destigmatize disability. The pizza brand is already a leader in inclusivity having created a work culture of integrated and diverse employees.
