Spread Kindness This Summer!
Summer is here, and what better time to brighten someone's day with an act of kindness?
From surprising strangers with cool treats to organizing community cleanups, there are so many ways to make a difference. Let's come together as RAKtivists (random acts of kindness activists) and make this a summer full of generosity, empathy, and kindness.
Whether big or small, every act of kindness has the power to create ripples of positivity that can touch countless lives.
Together, we can create a summer filled with warmth, compassion, and unity.
Are you ready to make a difference? Let's dive into the #SummerOfKindness and bring smiles to the faces of those around us.
Positive Chalk Messages - write positive messages or uplifting quotes on public sidewalks or parks in your community.

Host a Clean-Up - organize a community clean-up event and invite others to join you. Provide gloves, garbage bags, and other necessary equipment.
