Send us reports of long lines and we’ll send in the delicious reinforcements.”

So far, the org has raised a whopping $769,308 to feed voters during the presidential election. With both food trucks rolling up to polling places and on-demand service in response to voter tips, Pizza to the Polls in uniting us all in our love of Italian food.

first place.”
