Our church youth group has a "RAK Camp". they drive around the community, and do things like pay the bill at a drive thru for the car behind them, visit nursing home patients who never have visitors, buy and deliver gifts to health care workers, put money in parking meters. the kids really get to see how one little act can change someone's day

That's really cool!

What would help would be if people would stop thinking they know what others lives are like and what they deserve in life and just do real random acts of kindness. Then we would have solved the main problem with why this doesn't happen often enough.

I have learned my lesson and will never put money in a meter again for whatever ungrateful douche bag is laughing it off.........

Let those thieving bastards pitch in.....

Not saying it shallowly....last guy I paid for cut, in line in front of me at the post office and ignored me when I said "I guess you didn't see me here"

It is okay though...I know his car cause he came out and got into the car I paid the meter for....Next time I see that car....I slash the tires.

I volunteer at a local food bank, often offering to do the jobs no one else wants to .. like cleaning the public bathroom, washing or vacuuming the floors, sorting donations, etc.

They usually get a large donation of bakery products on Thursday, but have to throw out what is left before Saturday. I asked to take some home and they said to take as much as I wanted of what was left. So I started taking all that I could and giving it to people who just moved in or those who are very low income in my apartment complex.

Last Thanksgiving I realized that there were some people who didn't have enough for a decent dinner, so my daughter and I made loads of food and invited them to share Thanksgiving with us.

We're always collecting baby clothes, bottles, car seats, etc. and giving them to new mothers who don't have anything. My son has a side business selling firewood and he gives away Christmas trees. My kids grew up seeing me do these things and now they do them in their community too.
