Our Kindness Stories
If you could do a random act of kindness for someone in your life today, what what you do?
This question has been answered by hundreds of our staff and supporters throughout the years. From creating kits for victims of domestic violence, buying school supplies for teachers and students in need or building a bird house for a senior citizen community; these stories touch upon the wide range of causes that people have supported with funds from our Acts program.
Over 90% of donations to Random Acts go directly into this program, which has sponsored over 1,000 acts of kindness worldwide since its inception.
