Pay It Forward

Pay It Forward is an expression that describes the beneficiary of a good deed repaying the kindness to others.  Pay It Forward tells us that we can make a difference in the lives of others and it glorifies random acts of kindness.  This is at the heart of who we are and what we do at Shine and Inspire.  Here are some of the ways that the people in our community are paying it forward – so inspiring!

Sunnybrae Elementary School is Paying It Forward with a Glove Giving Tree!
This is Patrick of Ewing Helping Hands who, during the pandemic, started helping people out with food as there were many who couldn’t afford to feed their families. He has continued to do this because the need is still there. This is one caring human being! We helped him open a Shine and Inspire Closet at the Arthur R. Sypek Center (one of two campuses with the Mercer County Technical Schools).
Many thanks to Celeste Albert and the wonderful Sharon Shines program which provided snacks for the Shine and Inspire Closets.
Just some of the boxes of snacks there were much more!
Shampoo and conditioner donated by L’Oreal for every closet – so amazing! Puppy not included.
For Yardville School’s Pay It Forward Fundraiser, they collected pet supplies and food for two local animal shelters.
Kate and the ZTA Sorority collected closet items – thank you!
