CHANDLER, ARIZONA (AP) Neighbours walked by during their morning stroll, passing families waved from their bikes and drivers slowed down long enough to read the hand-drawn sign “Dylan’s Food Drive”.
The poster was taped to two PVC pipes that were stuck inside construction cones for support.
It was a typical scene for eight-year-old Dylan Pfeifer, who has been staging food drives from his home in metro Phoenix in response to the pandemic.
“It started because I wanted to give Internet to people,” he said, explaining that he had transitioned into virtual learning at Chandler Traditional Academy’s Independence Campus in Chandler.
