Ways to Celebrate |
|
Here are a few ideas for 'celebrating' Random Acts of Kindness Day:
- Send flowers to the nursing staff at your friend's doctor's office with a note of appreciation for their excellent care. Don't sign your name.
- Help your friend drop off fun gifts of appreciation to those who have made a special difference along the journey he/she is taking right now. A sock full of candies, a basket of fruit or a gift card will make a fun gift. These can be anonymous, too.
- When visiting a friend in the hospital, stop by the cafeteria and pay for the meals of the nurses in line.

Our Inspiration
Our dear friend Laura wanted to use Random Acts of Kindness Day to show her appreciation to t he staff at the oncology center. By sending out a few short emails to friends here's what happened:
- Many friends contributed money
- Several friends took Laura shopping to purchase gift items
- Other friends helped Laura assemble gift baskets - one for each staff person at the oncology center
- One friend, a massage therapist, spent the day doing chair massages for the staff
- One friend delivered breakfast pastries & bagels to the staff
- Other friends helped Laura distribute the gifts
It was a wonderful opportunity for Laura to give back, and everyone involved felt so good for participating in such a giving project. |
