International Pay It Forward Day
Blake Beattie founded International Pay It Forward Day in 2007. The inspiration came from the movie ‘Pay it Forward’ released in 2000. This film chronicled a young boy who launched a goodwill movement that caused a ripple effect of giving in the community. This International holiday has now inspired over 5 million acts of kindness worldwide.
Kingdom’s Restoration committed to observe this day by volunteering to those in need.
Our Georgia board members partnered with Sonya’s Store House in Stone Mountain, Georgia to assist the homeless in downtown Atlanta by delivering hygiene kits, food and water. This occasion allowed the opportunity to hear the story of those in need and offer words of encouragement and prayer.
Our Texas board members volunteered at Minnie’s Food Pantry in Plano, Texas by prepping fresh vegetables and meats to be donated to less fortunate families. The opportunity to volunteer at Minnie’s was a wonderful experience to learn and give back.
Special thanks to Sonya of Sonya’s Store House and Lynette & Erica from Minnie’s Food Pantry for their contributions and willingness to serve. Our hope is to inspire all in making ‘Pay It Forward’ a true lifestyle not just a one day event.
