27-year old Mason Wartman quit his job on Wall Street in 2013 and moved back to his home town in Philadelphia to start Rosa's Fresh Pizza. The plan was to make the pizza New-York style; only $1 each with tasty thin crust. Wartman had gotten the idea to give away slices of pizza for free to homeless people. But when a customer asked if they could donate money for pizza to be made specially for the people in need, which was when Wartman thought of a new idea.
People who come into the restaurant are asked to donate an extra dollar for a slice of pizza for a homeless person. Then they are invited to write a message on a sticky note and put it on a board, so when people in need stop by, they can take a message and trade it for a piece of pizza. Not only does it save them money, but they don't have to steal for food. Wartman says he serves about 40 homeless people per day, and in all he had given 8,400 slices.
Wartman is recognized nationally for his good deeds and Shutterfly gave him a $10,000 donation. Click here for an interview with Wartman and click here for a link to his website.
