Tomorrow is National Random Acts of Kindness Day! Currently ongoing is Random Acts of Kindness Week which started February 13th and will end on February 19th. Both events are designed to help spread kindness and empathy in the world; the motto of these annual events is “making kindness the norm.” Random Acts of Kindness can be gifted to any person by any person, and includes a plethora of actions from holding a door open to making an anonymous donation and more. Looking for some inspiration to get you started? Consider one of the following acts:
- Share words of kindness online
- Take part in a community cleanup
- Check-in with a friend/family member you haven’t talked with in awhile
- Leave quarters at your local laundromat
- Donate items/money to an organization/individual in need
- Plant a tree or native flowers
- Leave an extra-generous tip for your next server
