PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – To Desarae Legros cooking comes with a calling.
“I was running multiple restaurants and I always loved the grill line,” said Legros.
Nowadays it happens at her home and not at work. After a couple of bad falls, Legros underwent five surgeries in fourteen months which made her currently disabled, but at her lowest point, Legros wanted to help others. So, she googled non-profits and found Lasagna Love in Pittsburgh.
“It woke up a spirit and a passion inside of me that I lost when I lost my ability to walk,” Legros said.
She can walk just enough to cook now and through the non-profit she makes a lasagna for a neighbor going through tough times.
It doesn’t matter what the reason is for needing a homecooked lasagna, be it the loss of a family member, food insecurity, or even medical emergencies. What matters is it’s an anonymous person making you a hearty, heartfelt, family meal for free.
“Lasagna Love has changed my life,” said Legros.
