In the heart of Los Angeles, the co-founders of Richeeze Melts, Richard Maize and Severin Stone, are using their grilled cheese food truck to offer more than just delicious comfort food. Amid the devastation of the recent fires that left many families displaced, the duo has been making rounds to donation stations and fundraising locations across the city, including the LA Dream Center, to distribute free, fresh meals to those in need.
Known for their signature melts that have become a local favorite, Maize and Stone have taken their culinary passion a step further by offering warm meals to families who lost their homes in the fires. For them, it’s not just about serving food; it’s about serving hope and compassion in a time of crisis.
The LA Dream Center, a prominent community outreach organization, has been one of the key locations where Richeeze Melts has focused their efforts. Through the center's network of support services for displaced families, Maize and Stone have been able to reach those most affected, ensuring that a hot meal is one less thing they have to worry about.
“We’ve always believed in the power of food to bring people together,” says Richard Maize. “During these difficult times, it’s about offering comfort in every bite and letting people know they’re not alone.”
Severin Stone echoes this sentiment, adding, “Food has a way of healing, and in moments of loss and hardship, it’s a small but meaningful way to show love and care for our community.”
Through their food truck, Richeeze Melts has been offering more than just a meal — they’ve been delivering a message of solidarity, reminding Los Angeles residents that even in the face of tragedy, kindness and support can make a big difference.
Their efforts have been met with gratitude and appreciation from families and volunteers alike. And while they’re best known for their mouthwatering grilled cheese sandwiches, it’s their generosity and commitment to their community that’s truly melting hearts across Los Angeles.
