我们现在处于艰难时期，对于某些人来说，这些时代甚至更加困难。今天在爱荷华州锡达拉皮兹（Cedar Rapids）开设了一家新的咖啡馆，提供了许多仁慈和无私的选择，包括有机会“向未来的较少有足够的餐馆“向前付款”。
ABC会员CCRG在Cedar Rapids报告中那是马修25非营利组织开设了新的GroundswellCafé如今，专注于流行的农场到餐桌格式。它还“计划种植一部分为咖啡馆的客户提供的食物”，可能来自该集团的社区农场的50％。
To further promote healthy eating at the café and help make it more affordable for all, the restaurant encourages customers who can do so to “overpay” for their meal, “so when someone comes in who can’t afford the price of soup, salad or sandwiches—the amount is already covered by someone who paid it forward.” Customers can do so by rounding up their bill to the nearest dollar, or by making an outright donation. And it sounds like the Iowans are enthusiastic about the altruistic model: “Café operators say so far nearly every customer has left a little extra to help feed someone who couldn’t afford it.” According to the restaurant’s website, those who can’t afford to pay can order their meal and enjoy it at no cost.
以前的努力像这样panera面包告诉人们只付钱。（后来关闭。）也许您自己已经在星巴克或类似的地方拉了旧的“向前付款”，这使您震撼了帮助他人，甚至是完美的陌生人。GroundSwellCafé标准化了这种做法 - 希望将“向前付款”成为更常见的口头禅。
