Sometimes the simplest acts of kindness stick with us the most. A kind word from a friend or the spontaneous generosity of the person in front of us at the drive-thru can brighten a cloudy day. While many of these actions happen spontaneously, we love taking an entire week to be intentional givers in our communities. In honor of National Random Acts of Kindness Week (February 10th-16th), we will be sharing some of our favorite Random Acts of Kindness (RAKS) every day as well as holding a giveaway at the end of the week.
