In the spirit of aiding front line medical workers and Friday, May 15, 2020, also being national pizza party day, Jadakiss donated 250 pizzas to medicals centers throughout in the Harlem, Bronx, and Yonkers as part of the Pizza vs. Pandemic initiative.
That movement is a coordinated effort by an online local pizza ordering platform Slice to support both healthcare professionals and small businesses through the COVID-19 pandemic reports the BW Times.
It has delivered hundreds of pies from independent pizzerias to be to workers at care centers, hospitals, clinics, and shelters since March 21, 2020, according to Slice.
Now with the aid of Jadakiss among other volunteers, Pizza vs. Pandemic has raised a reported $442,000 and donated over 18,000 pies in total.
