During the recent devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, chef Daniel Holzman of Danny Boy's Pizza took action by delivering pizzas to those affected, including evacuees and firefighters. Recognizing the emotional and logistical challenges faced by the community, he sought to provide comfort through food. Inspired by a quote from Joe Biden on responding to disaster, Holzman mobilized volunteers and offered pizzas at evacuation centers, highlighting the healing power of sharing meals in difficult times. His initiative not only fed the hungry but also fostered a sense of community during a tragic period.
If you've gotta ask, it's too late.' You don't have to ask, you don't have to wait. Just start doing. And then figure out the logistics on the back end.
Pizza really has an outsized impact. It's a comfort food, and it's logistically convenient. We just put [out] a message that said, 'Hey, if anyone needs food, let us know.'
Sitting at home, glued to the news of devastating wildfires in early January, many Angelenos were paralyzed with fear and grief.
Holzman began dispatching food to evacuation centers and other zones where hot, fresh pizza was more than a welcome relief - it was healing.
