Kamloops This Week salutes those who go above and beyond for the good of the community. When there is a need in the community, two local business owners regularly prove their commitment to Kamloops. Pizza Now owner Rocky Hunter and Gerald Thiessen, owner of Papa G’s Cafe, have been serving food for free to evacuees from wildfires and floods and to crisis volunteers. Last year, Hunter donated $5 from every $30 purchase at Pizza Now to The Mustard Seed Kamloops during the store’s inaugural YKA Pizza Week.

We were recently featured in Best in Kamloops, where Dean tries to figure out once-and-for-all who sells the best pizza in town. After trying out our $14.69 taxes in. cheese pizza from Papa G's Cafe & Diner, we received a score of 8.4. Thank you so much, Dean!
For the next 30 days, buy 2 large 12" Pizzas, Pepperoni or Hawaiian for only $30.00. $5.00 from every order will be donated to Jessie.
On June 9th, 2016 Jessie's life changed suddenly. Jessie has a severe brain injury putting him in a wheelchair, unable to walk. Sue, Jessie's mom's goal is to bring Jessie home.
The fundraiser is for upgrades to her home to accommodate Jessie. Jessie's mom's goal is to have him walk again.
Sue and Jessie Simpson would like to thank Papa G's and for everyone's amazing support. Photo shown here is of Jessie eating a Papa G's Pepperoni Pizza. We would appreciate any support for the family.

Gerald can most often be found in the kitchen 7 days a week at Papa G's. His food is homemade and very reasonably priced. He runs a share and comment meal give away daily on Facebook. He has fed the men in the recovery program at the Mission. He just finished a fund raiser for a young man and his family that have medical needs and already has started a new one for the SPCA. This man and his business embodies our community as his own. We couldn't ask for anything more from a small business.
