Randon Act of Kindess Day
Random Acts of Kindness Day
What is Random Acts of Kindness Day?
Random Acts of Kindness Day takes place each year in mid-February. It's a day dedicated to kindness and taking that extra, conscious step to brighten somebody’s day.
It was created by the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation with the intention of encouraging more harmony and kindness between people by offering thoughtful gestures of kindness, no matter how big or small.
A random act of kindness could be surprising a colleague with coffee and a bagel, complimenting somebody on a job well done or placing a funny note in your child’s lunch box. There are so many ways that you can join in, spread some kindness and positivity, and possibly make someone's day.
