South Florida teens have delivered 25,000 pizza slices to fight hunger

A South Florida teen and her brother are using pizza and technology to fight hunger in the country. Aashrita Kaza and her brother Anish have developed Pizza for a Purpose in Florida, an app that connects donors, pizzerias and local organisations. According to a report published by Good News Network, the platform started in 2024 and has already facilitated the donation of 25,000 slices of pizza to families facing food insecurity, including residents of Broward County.The idea came after the siblings saw food insecurity firsthand. The 13-year-old and her brother were volunteering at local places when they noticed families were in line for food and those in the queue included not only adults but also young children their age.
