These lyrics from Diana Ross' song embody an initiative that we at The Baby Boomer News feel can help local non-profits as they face loss of funding, while experiencing an increase in the needs for services from the communities they serve.
In each issue of our magazine, we feature a local non-profit's story and the needs they are currently experiencing. We ask that our fellow "baby boomers" partner with us to support these worthwhile organizations, through volunteering of our time and the donation of goods, services and/or funds. C'mon Boomers...Let's work together to PAY IT FORWARD !
If your non-profit organization would like to be featured in one of our monthly issues, please contact Mary Ann Dore maryann@thebbnews.com. To list your non-profit organization on this website simply submit your organization's information to info@thebbnews.com.
