Crepes For a Cause

Weekly Community Fundraising at The Skinny Pancake

A Community Tradition, Reimagined: The Skinny Pancake Is Proud to be a Restaurant That Gives Back

What started as a simple idea (using food to bring people together) has grown into one of the most meaningful traditions for us here at The Skinny Pancake.

Years ago, we launched Crepes for a Cause as a way to give back to the communities that have supported us from the beginning. By setting aside a portion of our sales and partnering with local non-profits, we created a program that turns everyday dining into something bigger: a shared investment in the people and organizations doing good work right in our neighborhoods.

Over time, that idea has evolved. What began as a giving initiative has become a weekly community gathering, where guests, staff, and local partners come together around the table… not just to eat, but to support a cause.

Supporting The North Shore Children’s Museum

We’re excited to continue that story in as we launch Crepes for a Cause events in Peabody, MA. On Thursday, March 12th and again on March 26th, we’re kicking off Crepes for a Cause in support of the North Shore Children’s Museum. This partnership is especially meaningful to us as we’re proud to be a sponsor of the museum’s Farm to Table room, helping support a refresh of its kitchen and hands-on farm activities.

Starting at 3pm, you’ll find the museum’s Executive Director, Jen, and her team at the Skinny Pancake Peabody, sharing more about their work and connecting directly with our community. This partnership represents exactly what Crepes for a Cause is all about: creating real connections and opening doors for more people to engage with the organizations that help shape their community.

How Crepes for a Cause Works

Crepes for a Cause takes place every Thursday from 3–8pm at different Skinny Pancake locations. Each week, we partner with a local nonprofit or community organization and invite guests to support them simply by dining with us. At the end of the evening, we donate 20% of proceeds to that partner.

And because consistency matters, we’ve built in a guarantee: If sales don’t exceed last year’s numbers by 20%, we’ll still give back—through a $50 gift card donation to the organization.

Fundraising Events Built By Our Community

Crepes for a Cause is about more than fundraising. It’s about creating a space where community members can gather, local organizations can share their mission and small actions like going out to eat can lead to meaningful impact. From its early days to this new chapter across Pancakia, the heart of the program hasn’t changed; Good food brings people together. And together, we can do a lot of good.
