Lost Pizza donates to support National Night Out 2026

Organizers thanked Lost Pizza for a donation to support National Night Out 2026 in a Facebook post, saying the contribution will help with next year’s community event.

National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie and is observed across the United States. The event typically brings neighbors, law enforcement and local organizations together for safety demonstrations, neighborhood activities and information sharing.

Donations from local businesses and organizations often help cover costs for venues, supplies and programming that make such events possible and accessible to residents. Community support can also strengthen ties between residents and public safety agencies and highlight the role of local businesses in community life.

The Facebook post did not include additional details about the donation. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
