How can you PASS IT FORWARD?
There are lots of ways to get involved in the work we do, starting with being kind to one another.
But for those who would like to be more involved, we have several ways you can.

Spread the Kindness
Of course, the way everyone can be involved is to spread the kindness. Here are some ways to do just that.

- Offer to return a shopping cart to the store for someone loading the car
- Play music or sing for the elderly, whether in their homes or a nursing facility
- Compliment a stranger
- Visit an elderly person in need of assistance
- Offer someone a ride in a safe setting
