One day. One little way to make a big difference.
Live United. Be kind.
The United Way's National Day of Action revolves around one central idea: the philosophy that everyone can create change in his/her community. We invite you to reach out to the people surrounding you: your neighbors, co-workers, family members, friends, and even the strangers who cross your path everyday. Make your community stronger, brighten some days, and inspire others to action both today and every day. Random acts of kindness are a perfect way to Live United because although they are tailored to the individual, they create community and good will among participants. Remember that every good deed creates a ripple effect; perhaps your kindness will come back to you one day!
Some suggestions: Leave a friendly note that will make someone smile. Refill an expired parking meter. Give flowers for no special reason to someone you love. Donate needed items to a local animal shelter, food bank, or community foundation. Send a thank you card to a public official. Help a person in need.
The possibilities are endless!
TELL US ABOUT IT!
We would love to hear about your experiences with Random Acts of Kindness. Send us an email at volunteers@unitedwaynwla.org or post a comment on our Facebook page, and we will post your story online. This way, your act can have an even larger impact, inspiring new people every single day!
Remember to Live United!
