Challenge Tips

Practice Kindness in Your Community

Research has shown that kindness is contagious and can have a ripple effect throughout a community. Giving back offers benefits to both the giver and the recipient, motivating both parties to continue spreading kindness.

Modeling kindness can help foster a more collaborative and cooperative community that enriches and rewards everyone in it.

Your Action for Today

Give back to your community by helping a neighbor or volunteering your time. Some simple yet meaningful ideas include:

• Delivering a meal or baked treat: Brighten someone’s day with food! This can be helpful for a neighbor who has a new baby, an illness, or an injury.
• Donating time or goods: Volunteer at a local food bank or soup kitchen — or donate clothing and toiletries to a shelter.
• Helping with yardwork: Offer to mow your elderly neighbor’s lawn, rake leaves, or prune bushes.
• Supporting a local animal shelter: Many shelters and rescues need volunteers to walk dogs, socialize with animals, and clean cages.

Bonus Action: Organize a volunteer event for your team. This can be a great bonding opportunity that also helps build a stronger community.
