Edmonds-based Caravan Kebab owner Shazad Raja — assisted by several volunteers — prepared and distributed 250 meals on Christmas Day to people in need around South Snohomish County. Volunteers came from organizations that included Volunteers of America Western Washington, Fallen Brothers Food Resource, Snohomish County Mutual Aid and Second Chance Foundation.
The boxed meals included curry chicken, vegetable biryani, salad and rice.
An additional 30 meals were distributed to Edmonds police officers working on Christmas.
As we reported in our earlier story, Raja began collaborating on the event with Mountlake Terrace City Councilmember and VOAWW Vice President Steve Woodard last Monday, after speaking to customer Amira Atan.
This is wonderful! Helping neighbors in need and our own officers in Edmonds. Thank you again – so much – Caravan Kebab. The owners and staff clear care about our community!
Shazad, you set a great example and warm our hearts during this holiday season. Thank you for your initiative. We are honored to have you in Edmonds.
So wonderful! Maybe I can help next year? I love Caravan Kebab! I had pirogies there a while back, and they were precisely like the ones my Czech grandmother made! I almost cried! Better than even my mothers!!
