A Connecticut restaurant owner and his customers are working together to hand out dozens of holiday meals this year.

Dave's Planet Pizza received $2,700 in donations to help feed 40 families from Fox Run School for Christmas Eve dinner.

The Norwalk restaurant delivered roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, salad and more to the families.

Dave's Planet Pizza's manager, Lucas Rodriguez, says he is thankful that so many people in the community helped out.

"We raise money together so we can feed the families in need," Rodriguez says. "So we got 40 meals—we're all busy and we're working together."

Each family will also get a gift card to Dave's Planet Pizza
