That's what you call paying it forward.   Thank you so much McDo! =)
Many of the large-scale [and even micro-, small- and medium-scale] enterprises now are paying it forward.  What I really admire are those enterprises that didn't even bother to broadcast that their company is giving help.  They just want to help! Period!  But don't get me wrong.  There's nothing wrong about telling the world that your company is offering help.  It may even inspire and trigger more companies to give help and love!  I myself would tell the world if  I have a company that is giving a helping hand to those in need.  I would even advertise if the company decides to [always] give part of its earnings to charity in order to inspire others to do the same.  So, [again] don't get me wrong, I just said I admire those who kept quiet and just continuously giving help.
