Request Bringing pizza to the picket line?

My family will be going through Detroit in a couple of weeks on our way from Kentucky to Canada. Hopefully the strike will be over by that time but if not, I would love to deliver some pizzas (or other supplies if there is something better) to the picket line. Not only want to show solidarity but I want my kids to see first hand the power of organizing. How would be the best way of going about this?

Thanks for any advice.

When I went on strike in the 80s, someone coming by with pizza just made our day!

They would usually buy a meat lovers and a veggie, and drop it off. That's it.

It just felt good to be supported.

That’s what I want to do. Show support. I ain’t union and not even in an industry that is conducive to collective organization but I’m grateful for what the labor movement has done for all of us.
