Paying it forward in Philadelphia
Customers check out notes on the wall Saturday night at Rosa’s Fresh Pizza in Center City Philadelphia.
When you order a slice at Rosa’s, you will be invited to pre-purchase another slice for a homeless Philadelphian and leave a note of your own behind.
The restaurant has been handing out about thirty to forty slices per day over the past eight months, totalling about 8,500 slices altogether, according to a report from ellentv.com.
If you can’t get there in person, you can now make online purchases of slices to give away.
