Friday July 13: Random Act of Kindness Day 
In your own home and neighborhood, perform at least one Random Act of Kindness for someone else... or do several! Take a photo of yourself doing your RAK and send it to Erin so she can share it with the rest of our King Avenue Families. Here are some ideas...
  • Call your grandmother.
  • Take surprise cookies to a neighbor that might need a friendly pick-me-up.
  • Buy a cup of coffee for the person behind you at Starbucks. 
  • Pack a sack lunch of a piece of fruit, PB&J sandwich, snack size bag of chips, package of cookies and bottled water and give it to a homeless person or panhandler. 
  • Let someone go in front of you in line. 
  • Leave extra change in the vending machine. 
  • Send an email to someone to show your appreciation or thanks. 
  • Drop off old books to your local library or children’s hospital. 
  • Going for a run? Offer to take your neighbor’s dog along with you for some exercise. 
  • Help someone in need with their packages or their cart at the supermarket. 
  • Organize the clothes you don’t wear anymore and donate them. 
  • Mow your neighbors’ lawns or water their plants while they are out of town. 
  • Stand up for those who are being bullied.
