Saz’s Catering Makes Holiday Parties a Giving Opportunity

Milwaukee, WI – November 11, 2011 – Saz’s Catering has announced that they will donate 5% of food and beverage sales between December 1 and January 31 to the Milwaukee based Hunger Task Force. Saz’s Catering selected Hunger Task Force as the recipient of this donation because of their significant work to provide food to the people of this community.
 
 “Hunger Task Force is a meaningful local organization and as a local business we are really happy to partner with them this holiday season,” stated Steve Sazama, founder and owner of Saz’s. “Especially at this time of year, the idea of people going without food is difficult to grasp,” Sazama continued, “and when we started evaluating who to focus on with this donation, the answer was pretty obvious. It had to be the Hunger Task Force.”
 
Saz’s Catering Director, Joe Brueggemann reached out to Hunger Task Force Executive Director Sherrie Tussler with the proposal and was please that the idea was met with such enthusiasm. Tussler commented, “Holiday parties are a way of sharing food and joy with one another, and we appreciate Saz’s decision to make this generous donation so we can share food with more people in need this season.”
 
Brueggemann explained that this includes all food and beverage sales by Saz’s Catering in December and January. Whether people book their holiday parties, annual meetings or other events at their home, office or an outside venue, 5% of sales will be donated to the Hunger Task Force.
