Much to his surprise, what began for Good Pizza Founder and MBA student Ben Berman as a simple way to "make people smile" and "connect with people a little bit" during the pandemic, has morphed into a fundraiser supporting local charities to the tune of $30,000. Based in Philadelphia, Berman cooks homemade pizza and delivers it to strangers via a socially distanced window pulley. Those who are inspired can offer donations, all of which goes to charity. Berman credits "large family memories ... centered around food" as a big part of his inspiration. Having lost his grandmother in April, Berman knows first-hand the devastation the pandemic has wrought. "I don't want other people to go through that." His mission now is to share hope and "a little bit of joy" as we make our way through the dark times to the "light at the end of the tunnel."
