pay it forward

You see Pay It Forward or Paying it Forward is a concept in which you do a random act of kindness for someone and say Pay It Forward. You do this knowing and wanting nothing in return except for the person to Pay It Forward to another person. It doesn’t matter how small or large the act of kindness is, it always makes a difference.

Q:What happened?

My Pay it Forward act of kindness was donating food to Winnipeg Harvest. I initially wanted to volunteer at Winnipeg Harvest but I never got a response from them.

I chose this activity because it was one of the top three choices on my list and i couldn’t volunteer, I already shovel the snow and so the last choice was to donate food. I’ve never personally donated food to a food bank so it was a new experience

I helped people who were in need of food

I planned to donate the food on December 26, 2015 the day after Christmas but no one was at Winnipeg Harvest. So instead i did it on Monday December 28, 2015.

My act of kindness went well. There were no interruptions on Monday so everything went fine.

On Monday morning I woke up early and went to Winnipeg Harvest with my mom. We went in my mom to took some pictures and I met with someone at the counter. I give her the food and she puts in on the weighing machine to weigh it. She asks me if I want to say my name but i just left it anonymous.
