Free Pizza with a Side of Dignity

Posted by

When Chris Kolstad discovered that people were digging food out of the dumpster behind his Minnesota Pizza Man restaurant, he found a way to feed them and give them back their dignity.

He posted a message urging anyone to reach out to him if they need food and he’d provide it without them having to dive into the dumpster. He even leaves pizza outside the back door for people to pick up anonymously if they don’t want to be seen.

Since his post went viral on social media, he’s received more than $4,000 in donations and fed over 100 people in need.

“I can’t sit in a building full of food and watch somebody starve in my parking lot,” he said, determined to share what he can.

Meet Chris and see the full story!
