Drop-off donuts or muffins at your local police station or fire department
(and say thank you for their service);
 
Volunteer at a local food bank;
 
 Buy a gift card at the grocery store and give it to the next person in line;
 

 
Distribute balloons to children at your local playground;
 
Hand out (packaged) treats to children on the afternoon school bus;
 
Offer to help put groceries in someone's car;
 
Offer to fill the gas tank for an elderly person
(especially good on a cold or rainy day);
 
Leave coins in the washer or dryer at the laundry mat;
 
 
 
 
Hold the door for someone, smile and say "Good Morning" like you mean it;
 
Read to children at Barnes & Noble;
