Thank you to the Dennis and Phyllis Washington foundation for giving me the opportunity to be a "Pay it forward" recipient! Somehow, through all the madness that 2020 provided, I was blessed enough to not directly know any families that were in need of help. However, in the town of Livingston, I know there are always families that are struggling to put food on the table. That is why I chose the Livingston Food Resource Center as the recipient of my Pay it forward card. Not only are they a food pantry where people can go to get healthy necessities they need, but also a kitchen that prepares meals and provides summer lunches in the city for children. Even beyond that, they also provide resources and programs to help members of the community. I couldn't think of a better way to reach so many families in the community. Thank you again for the opportunity to help families in the community.

Hello -
My father in law chose to give my wife and I the Pay it Forward gift card. I had been out of work for some time and struggling. Primarily, the funds were used to purchase my wife updated lenses for her glasses and an eye exam at the eye doctor. The remainder was spent at Safeway for groceries, at Walgreens for a prescription, and the remaining $10 was spent on gas.
It was a blessing that we were given the card as we really needed the funds at the time for essentials. Thank you so much to the Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation for being so giving and allowing my father-on-law to "Pay-it-Forward" during our tough time.
Sincerely,
J and A
