A Pizza Delivery Inspired Us To Donate Our Delivery Services to Help Feed Healthcare Workers
We will be making free deliveries of donated meals to local healthcare workers. We were inspired by the generosity of one of our clients that asked us to deliver 35 artisan pizzas to the UCLA Medical Center Emergency Room staff recently. Now, we will do similar deliveries to other healthcare facilities for free until the end of this month.
Our client Creative Impact Agency wanted to find a way to show their gratitude to those who work in UCLA Medical Center’s ER and we were honored when they asked us to pick up the pizzas from Pizzana Restaurant in Brentwood and deliver them to the UCLA Medical Center in Westwood . We’ve been looking for a way to do something in the face of this outbreak and that gave us the inspiration. We are delivery people, so we thought ‘why not contribute what we know how to best – make deliveries?
Creative Impact Agency (CIA) is a long-time client of ours. They provide print and digital advertising campaigns to the entertainment industry from their two offices in Sherman Oaks and New York City. “We felt we couldn’t just sit back and do nothing in the face of this crisis,” says Owner, Alan Lobel. “We wanted to recognize the effort that hospital workers are putting in, the least we could do was surprise them with a warm dinner. It was our way of showing our appreciation and admiration for the work they are doing. Using Pearl to do the delivery made sense since they have been our courier partner for many years.” CIA’s New York office also did the same thing for local healthcare workers there.
Our founder, Lorena Camargo delivered the pizza herself. “I really wanted to be the one who made that delivery,” she said. “It felt good to finally be able to do something to help, even in a small way. That’s why we decided to contribute our services for free to other companies that want to donate food to healthcare facilities.”
We also this as a way to support local restaurants. We know their business is down and if we can also help them generate some income during these tough times, that’s a bonus.
Deliveries to healthcare facilities in the Greater Los Angeles area must be within a 10-mile radius of the pickup restaurant and must be for food orders of at least $250. They must be scheduled 72 hours in advance.
