It's National Pizza Day today and 1,000 families are getting a free pizza in B.C. to celebrate the occasion.
General Assembly Pizza is giving out a huge amount of free pizzas to vulnerable families and individuals throughout Vancouver and Port Coquitlam on February 9, 2022. This wholesome gesture just made the cheese-filled day even better.
Giving out pizza to people in the community is the perfect way to spend the day.
The heartwarming donation is happening with the help of the CityReach Care Society and Mealshare.
A press release said that CityReach runs "a free, nutritious foodbank for low-income households in the Greater Vancouver Area."
Today 1,000 homes are going to be getting pizza through the food bank program. They will also be getting food hampers with fresh fruit, vegetables, dairy, proteins and grains.
The Founder and CEO of GA Pizza, Ali Khan Lalani, who lived in Vancouver, said: "We take great pride in providing a premium frozen pizza experience for all, which is why it is a true pleasure to make dinners a bit more convenient, and a bit more delicious, for these deserving families."
"We’re excited to pay forward our deep love of pizza," Lalani added.
National Pizza Day may be your perfect excuse to order pizza for dinner tonight.
The real question is — are you a cheese, vegetarian or pepperoni pizza person?
You could also participate in giving back today by donating to a local charity and helping give meals to those in need.
The feeling of enjoying a pizza and helping another would be the best combo. Happy National Pizza Day!
