This Tuesday, participate it Pay It Forward Day! This day is a movement to encourage people perform acts of kindness for community members. The goal? To make the world a kinder place. In times like this, a little kindness goes a long way. Maybe drop off take-out at a neighbor’s home, support a local business, or simply call a friend to check-in. Whatever you do, no matter big or small, will help make a bright spot to someone’s day.
To help inspire you to commit an act of kindness, here are what several nonprofits are doing to help Pittsburgh during the Covid-19 pandemic.
