Every April 28th is Pay It Forward Day, a global initiative to promote kindness and giving within your local communities.
With the widespread economic and social impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak, we’ve seen first-hand how this is directly impacting lives in our local communities.
To pay it forward this year, we’ve supported the following food donation and distribution charities around our office locations of New Orleans, Nova Scotia, and New Delhi.
Second Harvest Food Bank
With many residents in New Orleans hit hard economically there’s a much greater need to supply food in the area. Content Bloom has donated 20,000 meals to Second Foodbank to help support their incredible efforts to distribute food boxes to families across south Louisiana.
Feed Nova Scotia
Feed Nova Scotia distributes food to over 140 food banks, shelters, and soup kitchens. If you live in Nova Scotia and need food for yourself or your family, use our Find Food tool below. Content Bloom has donated over 5000 meals to Feed Nova Scotia to help with the increased demand for food across the province.

PM Cares Fund
The PM Cares fund was set up by the Indian Prime Minister to provide relief to families across India affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Content Bloom has to donated to PM Cares to help families and those living in poverty who are especially struggling during this time.

Our teams have also been making individual donations to a range of charities including Cancer Research UK, Save the Children, and the Pope Francis Covid-19 Fund, in which we have matched those donations 100%.
We also want to personally thank our teams for their generosity and willingness to help however they can. Supporting each other in times like these is one of the few things we can control; so let’s continue to pay it forward, regardless of the time of year.
