Rosas Fresh Pizza in Philadelphia has set up a scheme where people can donate $1 to buy a pizza for another customer who needs it. The donor then writes a message on a post-it and sticks it on the wall. When someone comes in who cannot afford to pay for a meal, they can take a post-it to the counter and can order a slice of pizza.
Rosa'a owner Mason Wartman started the scheme when a customer asked if they could buy a slice for a homeless person.
By June 2015 Mason had served 23,000 slices of $1 pizza and was serving up to 100 free meals a day.
