I tried to buy a pizza by phone ("Send it to a homeless shelter or whoever is deserving"
Here's what they told me:
"Yes, we're being boycotted. There isn't really a homeless shelter here.
If you want to help, make a contribution to the Van Duzer Foundation."
"The mission of the Van Duzer Foundation is to assist families and individuals in St. Lucie County Florida, who are experiencing financial and personal hardship brought about by unforeseen crisis or tragedy."

I mean with a name like DUzer, how could we not help the guy out?

I really admire the way he's turning the attention into something good for the foundation. I certainly hope some of that fabulous karma rubs off onto his business... I suspect it will.

Fort Pierce Office
300 South US Hwy 1
Fort Pierce FL 34950

Looks like it is less than 4 miles away.
