Everett bakery selling Middle Eastern pizzas to help earthquake victims
EVERETT — Want a delicious treat for a good cause?
Through Feb. 16, Alida’s Bakery in Everett will donate 100% of the profits from its manakish sales to earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria. The donations will go to Islamic Relief USA, which made a global appeal to raise $24 million for urgent aid for the countries.
“This may sound cliche but it’s actually true: When we are working and making these items, absolutely we are thinking of these people. And it feels really good to know what we are doing now is going to help,” said Alida’s owner Nechirvan Zebari.
Turkey’s president has called the magnitude 7.8 earthquake the “disaster of the century.” More than 33,000 deaths have been recorded since the quake hit the region on Feb. 6. Tens of thousands of people have been injured.
