LANSING, Mich. — Grand Rapids-based Pasta Per Trio, the Michigan franchisee of Noodles & Company (Noodles) (NASDAQ:NDLS), known for serving noodle and zoodle dishes from around the world, today announced that it plans to host as many fundraisers as possible in local restaurants across the country for National Day of Giving, also known as Giving Tuesday, on Dec. 3, 2019. Noodles will donate 25% of all sales to select nonprofit organizations on December 3.

In Michigan, Pasta Per Trio has already donated more than $33,000 to local nonprofits this year.

“We’re always excited to partner with our guests to support the causes that are meaningful to them,” said Tom Shephard, Vice President of Pasta Per Trio. “Hosting fundraisers across all of our locations on Giving Tuesday allows us to give back in a bigger than ever way and support the work of the many remarkable nonprofit organizations in the communities where we have restaurants.”
