Pay It Forward
Cover a stranger's next meal. Your gift joins an open pool, a local restaurant cooks, and someone nearby eats tonight — small kindness, passed along, one plate at a time.
Together we nourish
Give a meal to a neighbour in need — prepared by a local restaurant, redeemed with quiet dignity.
The journey of one meal
Your $5 sets out… …joins the Pay-it-Forward pool with other gifts…
…a local restaurant cooks a real, hot meal…
The coin becomes a meal — heaped, hot, ready.
…and a neighbour redeems it with one scan. No questions.
One meal. A whole evening of relief.
How it works
- 01.
Donate
Fund a meal in seconds — pay it forward to the open pool, or back a campaign you believe in.
- 02.
Restaurant prepares
A local kitchen cooks a fresh, hot meal — real food from a real neighbour.
- 03.
Redeem in person
A simple QR redeems the meal in person — no shame, no friction, no questions.
Two ways to give
Campaign
Rally your community behind a goal — a school, a shelter, a neighbourhood in need. Watch the progress live, and when it funds, local kitchens get to work.
Built to be trusted
QR-verified
Each meal is redeemed once, in person, with a simple scan. No duplicates, no leaks.
Ledger-backed
Every donation lands in an append-only ledger. The pool balance is derived from it — never hand-edited, and any surplus flows straight back in.
Transparent
The live pool balance and every campaign's progress are there for anyone to see. Trust you can check, not trust you're asked for.
Someone is hungry now. You can change that.
One meal is a whole evening of relief. Give it in under a minute.
