With the food secured in red delivery pouches, the pizza makers utilized kayaks to hand out the pies to hungry families.

“We packed 120 pizzas into kayaks and took them out to people in their homes,” Habib told The Houston Chronicle. “The people in the houses didn’t expect us to come. It was so nice to see their smiles after so much gloom.”

Habib said she plans on delivering more pizzas on Thursday or until the store runs out of food to deliver.
