pass along

Share with others

To pass along is to transfer something from one person to another, often through a chain: Pass along the message, She passed the cookies along to the next guest.

It implies continued movement—what you receive, you give to someone else.

Information, objects, savings, and traditions all get passed along.

I'll pass that along to my manager means relaying a message without necessarily endorsing it.
