If your favourite food is pizza then today is your day. 

Around 1,000 vulnerable families across the Greater Vancouver Area, including Richmond, may get a frozen pizza to celebrate National Pizza Day.

Toronto-based General Assembly Pizza (GA Pizza), in partnership with Mealshare, are giving out 2,000 frozen pizzas to low-income individuals, children and families through CityReach Care Society, a Vancouver registered charity. 

CityReach Care Society also runs Food for Families, a free, nutritious foodbank for low-income households. 

Ali Khan Lalani, founder and CEO of GA Pizza, said it’s a “true pleasure” to make dinners a bit more convenient and a bit more delicious for deserving families.

“Having lived in Vancouver, I understand the real need that exists in the community,” says Khan Lalani.

“We’re excited to pay forward our deep love of pizza.”
