Good food brings people together, but in Wilmington, it's also helping make a difference! 

This holiday season, Skratch Bar + Kitchen is partnering with Philadelphia's Rosa's Pizza along with Urban Promise Wilmington joining forces to support local students through a new community-driven initiative. On Sunday, November 15, 2026, Skratch Bar + Kitchen will host the Rosa's Pay It Forward Launch Party, inviting the community to discover how small acts of generosity can make a meaningful impact, one meal at a time.  

A Community Partnership with a Purpose 

At the heart of this initiative is a simple idea: everyone deserves access to a good meal. 

Through Rosa's app, community members can contribute toward meals prepared by participating local restaurants for nonprofit partners. By connecting restaurants, generous neighbors and community organizations, the platform creates an opportunity to give back while supporting the businesses that make Wilmington's dining scene special. The partnership between Rosa's, Skratch Bar + Kitchen and Urban Promise Wilmington will focus on helping fund meals for local students, turning everyday generosity into something that makes a difference close to home. 

Celebrate the Launch at Skratch Bar + Kitchen 

On November 15, the Wilmington community is invited to come together at Skratch Bar + Kitchen, a neighborhood restaurant known for bringing people together through food, culture and community. The launch celebration will introduce the initiative and give attendees a firsthand look at how they can get involved. Throughout the evening, guests can enjoy live demonstrations of the Rosa's app, learn how contributions help fund meals and hear from the community partners working to bring the program to life. Whether you're a Wilmington resident, local business owner or simply someone who loves supporting a good cause, this event is an opportunity to connect with your community and help make a difference. Skratch Pay it Forward

Good Food. Great Community. A Lasting Impact. 

Wilmington's restaurants do more than serve great meals. They're gathering places where neighbors connect, local businesses thrive, and communities come together. The Rosa's Pay It Forward initiative is another example of how the people and businesses behind Greater Wilmington's dining scene are finding meaningful ways to give back.  

And while the November 15 launch marks the beginning of this partnership, its mission extends well beyond the holiday season. Join the celebration, discover how you can get involved, and help turn a simple act of kindness into a meal for a local student.
