Random Act of Kindness Day

A random act of kindness is a wonderful way to touch the lives of others. The simple idea of doing good to others to repay the good that has happened to you helps make our community a better place. On Friday November 13th, perform a kind act for someone and ask him or her to pay that kindness forward.

Get involved: Poster | Request Pay it Forward Cards

Random Act of Kindness Day cards are now circulating in our community. These cards encourage the cardholder to perform a simple act of kindness for someone – a neighbour, a friend, a co-worker, or someone they don’t even know – and hand the card over to that person – inspiring him/her to do the same.

There are so many ways you can get involved.

Pay it forward to your employees...

• Treat everyone to coffee and donuts in the morning
• Send an e-card to your employees letting them know how much you appreciate them

Pay it forward to your co-workers...

• Share your “to die for” chocolate chip cookies with your cubicle mates
• Offer to make the morning coffee run for everyone
• Make a point of thanking a co-worker for their help on a recent project

Pay it forward to someone you don’t even know...

• Purchase a meal for a homeless person
• Let someone in front of you on the expressway
• Pay the parking meter for someone if you see it’s getting low

There are so many ways you can promote the day and have fun at the same time.

We hope that you will spread the word and hand out cards to friends and family at every chance, inviting them to get involved in Random Act of Kindness Day.
