Random acts of kindness can make a meaningful difference in the world and in the lives of those around us.

Random acts of kindness are actions taken to help or benefit others without any expectation of reward or recognition. They can be big or small, and they can make a significant difference in the lives of those around us.

Performing random acts of kindness is important for a variety of reasons. For one, it helps to build a sense of community and increase social connectedness. When we do something kind for someone else, it creates positive energy and can inspire them to pay it forward and when people witness acts of kindness, it can inspire them to pay it forward and also perform kind acts themselves. This creates a ripple effect of kindness that can spread throughout a community, making it a happier and more compassionate and caring place to live.

​Additionally, performing random acts of kindness can have a positive impact on our own well-being. Studies have shown that acts of kindness can reduce stress, improve mental health, and even increase life satisfaction.

​Here are a few examples of ways you can perform random acts of kindness:
​

• Hold the door open for someone
• Leave a note of encouragement for a co-worker
• Pay for someone's coffee in line behind you (or surprise a co-worker with a cup of coffee)
• ​Offer to help someone with a task they are struggling with
• Leave a kind note on someone's car
• Call or visit a friend or family member you haven't spoken to in a while
• Leave a small donation to a charity
• Offer to babysit for a friend or family member who could use a break

Performing random acts of kindness can be easy and doesn't require a lot of time or money. It’s a simple way to make a big difference in the lives of those around us and improve our own well-being.
