A West 琉璃神社 pizza joint is offering free breakfast to those fleeing from fires in the Interior.

Patricia Guest is the master chef at Pizzamoreh and she said the restaurant鈥檚 doors have been open for extra hours since last week for evacuees in need of food or shelter.

But this time around, there鈥檚 a fire close to home and Pizzamoreh wants the community to know they are willing to help in any way they can.

鈥淲e鈥檙e here now and our doors are open. We haven鈥檛 actually seen a ton of people come through, but we鈥檙e here,鈥 she said.

鈥淧izzamoreh is technically closed today, but we鈥檙e wide open for evacuees to drop in and have some food.鈥

Last night, the restaurant鈥檚 doors were also wide open for Glenrosa residents who may need temporary overnight shelter from the Mount Law wildfire.

But before all of this, Guest said they have been cooking and distributing food for firefighters and evacuees displaced by the White Rock Lake fire. She said they have been working with the Peachland food bank to use up ingredients and feed as many people as possible.

鈥淧eople are donating to us, but we actually want you to donate to the food bank instead if you can, so the food is circulated around more efficiently,鈥 she said.

Guest added that as long as fires are raging and people are displaced, they will be open with an offer of comfort food for those who need it.

If you or someone you know is in need of food before moving on to a safer place, you can stop by Pizzamoreh (2565 Main Street) from 7 a.m. onwards.
