We’ve been blessed many times over. Those blessings allow us to give – and each time we Pay It Forward, we are again blessed.

Through the last 10 years, our unique Pay It Forward tradition has empowered our employees to give more than $12 million to help others, wherever they see the greatest need. Each year, every full-time employee receives $1,000 and every part-time employee $500 to give as they choose to people in need and causes they care about.

Often, employees team with each other, vendors or community members to meet an even larger need. Other companies have started their own Pay It Forward programs, widening the ripple of giving.

Paying it forward has changed us all. We hope these stories will inspire you to act when you see an opportunity to help. Prepare to change the world, and to be changed – one good deed at a time.
