Pizza to the Polls Will Feed Thousands of Voters Stuck in Long Lines on Election Day | Eater
"Founded in the days leading up to the 2016 election by software engineer Scott Duncombe, this nonpartisan nonprofit coordinates pizza deliveries to polling places (and occasionally to protest gatherings) to feed voters, poll workers, and volunteers stuck in long lines. People report long waits via the group's website by submitting links to social posts, and volunteers then order from local pizzerias so donors' money goes straight to meals. In its inaugural effort it raised roughly $43,307 from 1,728 donors and delivered 2,368 pizzas (about 25,000 slices) to 128 polling places across 24 states; since launching the organization has raised just over $110,000 in total. The group has also supported airport protests and, during early voting in the 2018 midterms, sent 1,274 pizzas to 93 polling places in 17 states, with heavy activity in Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio." - Whitney Filloon
