A neighborhood restaurant has an opportunity to serve more than meals.
For us, that starts with hospitality: welcoming people, doing our work with care, and using what we have to serve our neighbors. We're grateful for the families who make Skillet'z part of their lives, and we want that gratitude to take practical shape.
That's the idea behind Skillet'z Cares—and Dine with Skillet'z, our school fundraising program.
Schools and student groups can bring their community together for dinner while raising money for needs such as classroom activities, science camp, or student programs. Families share a meal, and Skillet'z contributes a portion of eligible sales to the participating group.
How Dine with Skillet'z Works
- Request an available Thursday or Friday evening.
- Invite your school community to dine in at Skillet'z between 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM.
- Families mention your school, club, or fundraiser when ordering.
- Skillet'z donates 15% of eligible in-store sales from participating fundraiser guests to your group, excluding tax and tip.
Online delivery orders do not apply. Gift cards and other promotions are excluded unless approved. See the fundraiser page for the full guidelines.
Caring for Everyone at the Table
We reserve school fundraisers for Thursday and Friday dinners and host one school, party, or student group per evening. That helps our team care well for your supporters and our other guests.
We want each evening to be welcoming for families, straightforward for organizers, and something our team can deliver with care.
Who Can Take Part?
Dine with Skillet'z welcomes inquiries from:
- Elementary, middle, and high schools
- PTAs and parent organizations
- Student clubs and leadership programs
- Sports teams and performing arts groups
- Groups raising funds for graduation, science camp, field trips, and classroom activities
We're glad to hear from school communities in Fremont, Union City, Newark, and the surrounding East Bay.
