Takeaway owner offers free pizzas to everyone in Edinburgh - BBC News
Today's story comes from BBC news and I have added a link if you want to see the full article.
A takeaway owner is offering to give everyone in Edinburgh a free pizza over the next month as an act of kindness.
This represents the best in community kindness-a tsunami of kindness washing over a city. I think of people living on pavements nearby, who can have a lovely tasty pizza instead of scrabbling in bins or begging. And those forced to make a choice between heating their home and eating. So a huge shout out to Marc Wilkinson who is a kindness hero!
Marc Wilkinson, 55, the owner of Pure Pizza in Morningside, said he had been planning a big altruistic act to help people struggling with the cost of living crisis.
He said it would also give his part-time staff more work.
"I'm very happy with my plan because it's a win, win, win for everyone," he said.
"The customers benefit, the suppliers benefit and my team of chefs benefit as it gives them more hours of work.
"I keep hearing about how the cost of living is affecting so many people and I just thought that my ovens are running all day anyway, so they may as well be working at full capacity all day if it helps people.
"Altruism is something that really interests me so I wanted to try it."
