The Winkler Community Foundation and the Morden Area Foundation invite you to participate in our Pay It Forward campaign during the month of May to help uplift and encourage our communities during these challenging circumstances of COVID-19.
To shine light on the amazing acts of kindness and generosity that is currently happening in our communities. We encourage you to help share these stories that you see in our community, in hopes that it will bring joy and encouragement to others.
Kindness is contagious, which is what our communities need at this moment. Please share the random acts of kindness that you see with us on Facebook, Instagram, or email us at admin@winklercommunityfoundation.com. Remember to use the hashtag #pifmay and tag the Winkler Community Foundation and Morden Area Foundation!
How kindness is shared may look different during this pandemic, however, sharing kindness is more important than ever. Together, let’s pay it forward with kindness this May and brighten someone’s day!
Part of the beauty of this initiative is that it doesn’t have to cost a cent.

Even small acts, such as paying for the person coffee in the drive through in the car behind you when you pay for your own, counts. If it makes the world a friendlier place, you succeeded!
