Great gesture, and will hopefully be used for its intended purpose rather than be abused. Please stay safe, and enjoy :)

We know that pizza can’t solve all of the world’s problems, but it can bring a small slice of joy to a bad day, and in these times of extreme stress and uncertainty that’s never been more important.

At Domino’s, we are committed to supporting the local communities in which we operate. That’s why our community-based ‘Feed the Knead’ program is now available in every state and territory across Australia.

This program aims to provide localised support by giving those doing it tough one less thing to worry about - a safe, hot meal. If you know an individual, business or charity in ‘knead’, simply fill out the nomination form and we’ll do what we can to help.

      Your constant need to be the funniest person in the room is maddening.
      This is a really lovely gesture from Dominos.
      Why do you need to jump in and try and make jokes about scamming the system?

        I'm 100% behind @tightarse [no pun intended] - see below.

        There is a good percentage of those that have joined ozbargain who are doing it tough especially in these trying times and pandemic period… all looking for ways to save for essentials … food is essential - lets support one another in what ever way we can.

        I would even suggest putting this in frugalfeeds.

          I’ve heard a person I work with say “you need to make them work for it” about a food voucher. We work in the lowest SES area of our city with the highest risk clients who are highly vulnerable and have multiple health and social issues. It’s just that there isn’t enough to go around. It’s heartbreaking.

      It is at the sole discretion of the franchisees within the Domino’s system as to whether they choose to support a “knead”.

The franchisee will determine, at their sole discretion, all relevant aspects of the pizza donation, including but not limited to, the time and date of the donation, the quantity of pizzas to be provided, which pizzas are provided, whether the pizza order will be pick up or delivery etc. The franchisee is not under an obligation to provide a pizza donation if the nominee and/or recipient are uncooperative or unresponsive.

        Where I live you can buy large pizzas from independent pizzerias for a similar price to Dominos and they taste so much better. I have never understood why Dominos is so popular.

    Its a nice gesture, but the poor always seem to end up with the poorest food choices that exacerbate already poor health and mental health.

        I agree with you. But whatever the reasons for particular people, the solution is never crap food. This type of food only exacerbates poor mental and physical health, and thou this is a well intentioned gesture, its net effect is to ensure the status quo.

    T&C's from the website:

    FEED THE KNEAD

    Domino’s has established a Feed the Knead giving program where people can reach out to their local Domino’s store to arrange for a donation of pizzas to a person or organisation who is in “knead” within the community.

    Individuals can complete a nomination form on the Domino’s website to tell us about the “knead” they wish to support by providing relevant details. The individual submitting the nomination form takes responsibility for the disclosure of the potential recipient’s personal information and undertakes not to include any sensitive information (as defined in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth)) in their nomination. The personal information provided will be used (to the extent required) to contact the nominee and/or recipient to facilitate a pizza donation.

    It is at the sole discretion of the franchisees within the Domino’s system as to whether they choose to support a “knead”. If your “knead” is chosen by a franchisee, the franchisee will work with you and your chosen recipient to organise the pizza donation for the recipient. The franchisee will determine, at their sole discretion, all relevant aspects of the pizza donation, including but not limited to, the time and date of the donation, the quantity of pizzas to be provided, which pizzas are provided, whether the pizza order will be pick up or delivery etc. The franchisee is not under an obligation to provide a pizza donation if the nominee and/or recipient are uncooperative or unresponsive.

      Lol @ the last paragraph. Most probably will not get it then.

      If these people in need are hungry now, NO PIZZA FOR YOU YET!!! Because its the sole discretion of the franchisee on when they are basically fed. Hahaha lamest charity attempt ever.

        the franchisee will work with you and your chosen recipient to organise the pizza donation for the recipient.
