In November, residents in the craft class at The Metro @ Compton Senior Apartments in Compton, CA, used their imaginations to do some good. They made crafts that benefited others via the Pay It Forward Foundation. Founded in 2000, Pay It Forward “serves as a catalyst to inspire growth for the Pay It Forward philosophy, acts of kindness among strangers, generating a ripple effect from one person to the next, one community to the next.” The residents created amazing handmade bracelets and journals. These lovely items, along with an inspirational handwritten note, will go to local women’s shelters. Paying it forward is a beautiful thing!
Research demonstrates that participating in arts activities improves the health and quality of life of older people.
