Take the Random Acts of Kindness challenge

We are smack-dab in the middle of Random Acts of Kindness Week, which spans February 14 through 20. Since today is officially Random Acts of Kindness Day, we are urging GL readers to launch their own kindness campaign.

 

Here’s the challenge: Every day, we want you to commit one random act of kindness. Big or small, we think you’re the key to making this world a better place. Think you’re up to it? We’ve got 20 ideas to get you started.

 

1. Help an elderly neighbor with his groceries
