Payitfoodward.com Launches in Livingston on Monday, June 24

Imagine ordering food from a restaurant and supporting a cause you believe in EVERY single time you order – not just on specially-arranged days. Payitfoodward.com, which is launching on Monday, June 24, is making eating for a purpose a reality!

Payitfoodward.com is an online food ordering site with a twist – three percent of every order is donated to a charitable group of the orderer’s choice.

Using the site is simple. Go to Payitfoodward.com and choose a charitable group to support and a favorite or new restaurant to order from. Place the order and three percent of the cost will immediately be on its way to the chosen charitable group – and the delicious food will be on its way to you.

Payitfoodward.com is the brainchild of GR Homa, a Livingston resident with a desire to help the community and the charitable groups supporting it. He is the owner of bigholler.com, which has been a successful online food ordering service for over 15 years. Pay It Foodward is a new community support-based offering from the parent company.

“Pay It Foodward lets us continue doing a normal task – ordering food online, but it offers a better outcome,” says Homa. “It lets you make a difference every time you order by supporting a cause or group you believe in!”

The program is a win-win for all: Charitable groups are supported in their endeavors to help the community; The community benefits from the services provided by these charitable groups; Restaurants, businesses, and charitable groups receive FREE advertising and promotion; Restaurants benefit from an uptick in sales; Businesses can fold donations into a charitable giving matching program, while providing a valuable employee benefit.

Below is a list of participating restaurants, eating establishments and charitable groups. If your favorite restaurant, eatery or charitable group isn’t listed on the site, or if you are a restaurant owner, business owner or run a group that supports the community that hasn’t joined the Pay It Forward with Pay It Foodward Movement yet – call 201-618-7444 to sign up today!
