Random Acts of Kindness
FROM THE NO PLACE FOR HATE COMMITTEE
 
Even a small gesture of kindness can not only make someone's entire day, but it can also make ourselves feel good: picking up litter, buying someone in need of something he/she needs, allowing someone to get in line ahead of you.

February 17th is National Random Acts of Kindness Day. Perform an act of kindness and spread positivity on this day, and every day! Use #RandomActsOfKindnessDay to post your feel-good acts on the 17th.
