Post #12 – Kindness is an Organization

Hello everyone,

Earlier, I told you about a plumbing company who helped a family in need.  Now, I’ve decided to change things up a bit and tell you about a nonprofit organization whose sole purpose is to promote and help complete random acts of kindness all across the world.  In 2009, Misha Collins, star of the CW’s Supernatural, reached out to his Twitter followers and they came up with an idea to help nonprofit initiatives.  After several changes and some careful planning, the team eventually came up with the name Random Acts.  The basic goal of this organization is to encourage individual acts of kindness whenever and wherever possible.  Not only does the organization help fund individual projects by letting you submit your idea, but they will also provide volunteers who may help you complete the act of kindness.

The organization’s mission statement is as follows: “At Random Acts, it’s our mission to conquer the world one random act of kindness at a time.  We are here to inspire acts of kindness around the world both big and small.  We provide a vast network of caring people with the encouragement and support they need to change lives for the better.”

The organization also has a list of five key values which are listed below:

  • ·         Every individual can be a catalyst for positive change in the world and in his/her own life.
  • ·         Everyone deserves to be treated with respect.
  • ·         Each person can make a positive impact with his/her own social network and community.
  • ·         Kindness breeds kindness
  • ·         Being kind is fun!


I hope that sharing this with you inspires you to check out their website and see the many videos posted which give an up close and personal view of individual random acts of kindness.  This organization can do a lot for many people around the world.  If you have a random fact that you would like to complete, don’t be afraid to ask for help, because anything can be accomplished.  I hope that you enjoyed reading about this organization, and I also have posted a video below.  I hope that you enjoy the rest of your evening, and that is all until next time.
