Pay It Forward NYC Initiative
December 2015 - February 2016
The three-month Pay It Forward NYC initiative was based on the same principle of small deeds aggregating for the greater good. In collaboration with an upper west side pizzeria, almost 200 slices were purchased - to be redeemed by hungry New Yorkers. This meant that during New York City’s coldest months, 200 individuals were able to enjoy a hot meal. Change Matters thanks everyone who purchased an extra slice for a hungry stranger.
