Please read this excerpt from our story, “Pay it Forward at the Foothills” which published in the Glen Arbor Sun on July 9, 2014.

“The initial idea was that a regular patron of the café could buy breakfast for another local patron. Those receiving breakfasts would see their name on the “Pay It Forward” board on the wall, and realize that their meals were already paid for. The individuals purchasing could either be anonymous, or have their names posted on the board. Patrons jumped at the opportunity to buy for others this spring, and names started appearing on the board. But the project became even larger when the two J’s (semi-anonymous patrons) asked if they could donate an anonymous gift certificate to anyone—perhaps someone in need—that might appreciate a breakfast at the Foothills.”
