Employees Donate over 8k from tip jar to charity!

Since Pazzo Gelato Café (www.pazzogelatocafe.com) opened its doors a year ago they have donated over $8,000 worth of employee tips to deserving charities, families and organizations in the area. “The Community Jar” was created by the owner, Jim Demotses whose giving attitude was contagious among his staff as they agreed to put 100% of their tips towards something good.

Just recently, Pazzo’s employees donated  over $800.00 to the North Andover Youth and Recreation Center for scholarships for kids to attend the Town's Summer Fun Program! Other organizations have included Neighbors in Need in Lawrence, Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer, a North Andover Eagle Scout in providing him money to complete restoration of town walking trails, Heal Lawrence (which aids families displaced by fires). This month they are supporting the North Andover Middle School 'STEM' Project to purchase new laptops for the computer lab!
