10 Great Ideas to Pay it Forward

ft2-payitforwardApril 24 was Pay It Forward Day, a special day in which people can make a difference and experience the true power of giving. The idea is simple: together we can change the world, one good deed at a time.

  1. Clean out your old clothes and donate to someone in need.
  2. Give to Beacon’s GEM program (foundation.qualityoflife.org/ways-to-give/gem)
  3. Let someone with only a few items cut in front of you at the grocery store.
  4. Babysit for free for a couple who doesn’t get out much.
  5. Give to someone something (meal, favor) they really need when they least expect it.
  6. Create a care package and send it to an active duty military unit.
  7. Instead of having people give you a birthday gift, ask them to donate the gifts or money to a good cause.
  8. Donate blood.
  9. Bake cookies and share with a neighbor.
  10. Send a handwritten card to someone you know, unexpectedly.
