For many folks, July 11 - or 7/11 - was just about free slurpees at the retailer of the same name. But Moraga's 7-Eleven took it one step further. Owner Samir Saleh asked patrons, who were receiving the free drinks, to donate money to order pizzas for the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano. The patrons responded, and within just eight hours, enough money had been donated to buy 108 pizzas that were delivered last week. "From the bottom of my heart I want to thank Moraga and I'm proud to be doing business in Moraga," Saleh said.
