Pay It Forward Paragould

Directions

Pay It Forward Paragould Pay It Forward is about changing our mindset and creating a world of kindness. In 2015 Pay it Forward Paragould became a 501c3 non-profit organization.

Pay it Forward Paragould was started in 2013 as a way to promote kindness and community involvement in the city of Paragould. The expression, Pay It Forward, is used to describe the concept of asking the beneficiary of a good deed to repay it to others instead of to the original benefactor. Many of you may have seen the movie ‘Pay It Forward’ or have read the novel of the same name, a story about a young boy who did 3 good deeds for others in need. In return, all that the child wanted was that they pass on the good deed to three other people and keep the cycle going. Since it's founding Pay it Forward Paragould has done several projects and drives to help the local community as well as introducing the Little Free Library Project, Buddy Benches in schools, and bringing a Shop with a Cop project to Paragould. Pay it Forward Paragould also speaks to schools and other groups about the pay it forward movement and community involvement. Our goal is to inspire people to live their lives with a sense of purpose and to make someone smile through good deeds. If you'd like to help me promote this pro-kindness movement please send us a message. Dustin Rumsey
