The Pacific Northwest is well known for being an environmentalist’s haven; with its lush greenery and beautiful coastline, it is an area whose metropolises are renowned for being regional leaders in sustainable and “green” practices. A contributor who further reinforces this reputation is Burgerville, a chain of restaurants spread around Oregon and Washington states, that has been serving food with locally-sourced ingredients for nearly fifty years.
Their mission, cut down to three little words, is “Serve with Love”. Under that umbrella is the promise that the stewards of Burgerville will deliver fresh and local products, commit to sustainable practices, and follow through on their assurance of top-notch service.

More than likely you have heard the phrase “pay it forward,” which by definition is when someone does a good deed for you and instead of paying them back, you pay it forward by doing a good deed for someone else.A selfless and random act of kindness is not only a gift from God but also a gift to the person on the receiving end.
