Thanks to a Fort Pierre business and some partnering financial institutions, about a dozen families from each of the elementary schools in Pierre and Fort Pierre will have access to some free meals during the schools’ Christmas break.
Fort Pierre Pizza Ranch co-owner Nathan Gerlach says this is the store’s second year doing the 12 Days of Pizza.
Gerlach says the 12 Days of Pizza originated in Rapid City.
In total, 64 Fort Pierre and Pierre families will receive 768 pizzas or buckets of chicken.
