While
people all around the country are finding ways to pass on positivity during the
pandemic, thousands are spreading love through lasagna.
Aliza
Sperling says she came across the Lasagna Love Facebook page a month and a half
ago. The page matches anyone who wants to try their hand at layering sauce,
cheese and noodles with people who need food.
After the
lasagnas come out of the oven, Sperling delivers them to her assigned families
in the area.
Lasagna
Love was founded at the start of the pandemic in southern California by
Rhiannon Menn.
Menn says
she started the page because not only is it easy to make with ingredients
available during the pandemic, but that it's comfort food.
Madeline
Young, 24, says that's what draw her to the page. She is a medical researcher
who moved to New York in July and started in the Manhattan and Bronx chapter.
More than
4,000 volunteers across all 50 states have delivered almost 8,000 lasagnas.
