Thursday is Random Acts of Kindness Day

Tuesday, August 30th, 2011

Thursday September 1 has been declared Random Acts of Kindness Day. This year marks its 7th anniversary.

RAK Day is all about people doing kind things for others – for no reason at all. To lift the kindness temperature in our country, step out of our comfort zone and do something randomly kind for a stranger or friend.

Over the last six years people have been RAK’d by strangers buying them coffee, paying for their parking, neighbours arriving with gift hampers, pizza being delivered to the local fire station for lunch and even huge giveaways like flights and cruises.
