Do you know what can offer some relief and respite during a crisis? The act of paying it forward can do that. Since day one, WebDevStudios (WDS) has made giving back to WordPress and the community an important part of our company culture, pandemic or not. While doing something for others contributes to the greater good, let’s face it. Giving back feels good, personally. That’s why we’re excited tomorrow, April 24th, is another Five for the Future day. This event means that our entire company is dedicating an entire workday to giving back to WordPress. That is a win-win for everyone involved.
If you’re reading this wondering, “What the heck is Five for the Future,” then please visit WordPress.org to learn more. As the open-source platform states, “WordPress fuels more than a third of the web. Are you a part of it?” Well, are you?
You can be! We are. Read “5 Ways to Contribute to WordPress Five for the Future” for ways you can participate in the Five for the Future movement. Follow us and the hashtag #5ftf on Twitter tomorrow and see how our team is contributing. We welcome you to join us.
Below is a sampling of how WDS contributed to Five for the Future last month. Give yourself some relief and respite by giving back to WordPress.

Its been a rather exhausting and stressful week due to the global epidemic. Really thankful that @webdevstudios gives us #5ftf – basically a day to give back to the community.

It’s #5FTF @webdevstudios again and this time, I am putting all my brain cells to work helping the community build #WordPress sites to help give up-to-date info about #CODVID19 #COVID19PH. Huge 🌮 @webdevstudios for supporting our efforts. pic.twitter.com/8hnbJuoFpA

Update so far at #5ftf @webdevstudios, I got a little sidetracked but helped a few other team-mates make some excellent progress on their open source projects for WordPress. #TeamWork pic.twitter.com/fsWHPdhDuK

It’s another #5FTF at @webdevstudios! Today I’ll be diving into all things Gutenberg, and maybe having a block to show for it by the end.

It is #5FTF day @webdevstudios, a day for us to give back to open source and the WordPress community. I will be working on the WP Search with Algolia plugin, which uses the awesome Aglolia service to provide lightning fast search results.https://t.co/yv0h3Ta8dy

It's #5ftf, which means that I get to give back to the WordPress community today. I'm working a blog post about how to leverage built-in Gutenberg content blocks to make some pretty cool stuff. Thanks @WebDevStudios!— Marty O’Connor (@martinjdolan) March 27, 2020
#5ftf @webdevstudios is a time to give back and a time to learn. To formally (in a way) learn #NodeJS is something ive been meaning to for a while now. And so many #opensource projects are using or built using it. Im excited to widen my #oss horizon with this knowledge!

It is #5FTF at @webdevstudios where we have dedicated time to work on open source projects. I'm currently working on a WordPress block for Markdown.
A big thanks to @3LPU4S for his guidance.https://t.co/zC9HGLHzfE
