Pay It Forward And Magazines

  This Weeks Pay-It-Forward And Your Magazines.
 
Here's a suggestion that may be helpful to others.
 
We live near a senior retirement home and always wanted to do something for them that maybe others may be forgetting to do.
 
When we are finished reading our magazines, instead of tossing them out, we now donate them to a senior center near us.
 
We usually only bring them up-to-date issues as they may not be able to keep up with all the current news which happens so quickly.
 
They appreciate us dropping them off, and sometimes we even get the chance to chat with some nice folks.
 
It's just such an easy way to center around giving rather than taking.

Love the idea.  And if you brought the concept into the workplace, you could probably collect even more every week.

That's a really smart idea Larry/Sheila and a good suggestion to really increase the volume by Ann as well.  My husband has been bringing all of ours in to his work but I think we are going to change that.  I visit with an elderly lady in one of our retirement homes quite often and know they would appreciate having more reading material.

Rob, What is a shut-in?

Residents of nursing homes are so happy to receive anything we can take to them and especially our time. Magazines are good because the articles and stories are shorter than a book. And magazines usually aren't too to hold. Good deed, Larry and Sheila

Valerie, Donating magazines to a local charity shop to sell sounds like another great idea!

Kate, It not only is an enjoyment for the residents, you'll see how good you will feel in donating them!

What a great idea you guys. Here we have a magazine exchange program in our local library. Bring in magazines you've read and pick up one that someone else has left behind.

But I do like the pay it forward donation to a senior center..... alot!
