Nonprofit organization offers pizza for voters

If you find yourself in a long voting line — whether during early voting or on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 6 — Pizza to the Polls will deliver free pizzas to your polling station. The nonprofit, founded in 2016, has raised $66,009 and delivered 2,873 pizzas, as of Nov. 3 at 11:30 a.m.Here's how it works: If you're stuck in line, go on the organization's website: polls.pizza. Enter a link to a social media post — on Twitter or Instagram, for example — showing evidence of a long line as well as the address of the polling place and your phone number or email address, if you want updates as to the status of your pizza.Once Pizza to the Polls gets and approves the request, it will order pizza from a local shop and send it your way. The pizza is for everyone — voters, volunteers, children there with their parents and even passers-by. Per the organizations's website, it's for "anyone else hungry for a slice." The goal is to make voting a little more celebratory and give something back to people exercising their right to vote. As the organization's website says, "Ain't nothing partisan about trying to make voting less of a drag." The money for pizzas comes from donations. You can contribute to the cause on the Pizza to the Poll's website now. Any leftover money will be saved for the next elections.
