South Florida siblings use app to deliver 25,000 pizza slices to families in need
Aashrita Kaza, 13, and her brother Anish started Pizza for a Purpose in 2024 after seeing food insecurity firsthand in South Florida. The app connects pizzerias, grocery stores, and individual donors directly with nearby charities and nonprofits. They have now helped donate more than 25,000 slices. "The reaction really warms our hearts, their faces just light up the second they get the pizza," Aashrita said on August 25, 2026. "It's very rewarding because it makes everything we do worth it." Businesses offer fresh pizza through the app and connect with a nearby charity, making it easier to get food directly to people in need.
The app gives families facing food insecurity access to fresh meals from local businesses.
