How We Spread Goodness

What is a Random Act of Goodness?

Have you ever had someone spontaneously pay for your coffee? Or maybe it was receiving a meaningful note from a friend or a generous gift that came at precisely the right moment?

Big or small, there's a fair chance that this one act caused a shift in your day. Maybe it just lifted your spirits or reminded you that you matter. Perhaps it was a life-altering moment that you'll forever feel gratitude for.

Whatever the case, moments like this have a tangible impact. A ripple effect happens when someone makes an effort to give a little goodness because when you are on the receiving end of one of these moments, the impact is real and meaningful, and you feel inspired to do the same for others.

Spreading Goodness

Spreading Goodness through A Random Act of Goodness is a relatively minor thing when considered a standalone act, but pull back from it and look at the ripple effect and you'll see that it's people helping people in big and small ways, across the country and the world every single day. It's a ripple effect of good that can change the world and make people's lives better - and it starts with one random act of goodness. It begins with you. We invite you to help us be that light for many by finding ways to spread goodness in your community, one act at a time.
