Our goal is to reach 21,000 Acts of Kindness. We want to thank Joni Van Horn for taking the lead in this project! In order to hit our goal, we need you to send us your Acts of Kindness stories, photos and videos. Please email them to contactus@sfp21.net so she can get them added to this page. If you would like to get your own Pay It Forward Cards, feel free to stop by The Beach to pick them up or email us at contactus@sfp21.net and we can send you out your own set. Let’s blanket the KC Metro in Acts of Kindness, GO!!!
*I was able to help carry personal items and hold the door for a dear friend of mine in a wheel chair.
*I had such a wonderful afternoon spending time with You, your Mom, Tom, Jan, Sharon Rodriguez, Alicia, and everyone else. The time flew by SO quickly. I loved the fellowship, your Mom’s dish, and the donated beef dish. Jessie James, Don(Ditto), and I all arrived back at camp simultaneously. They absolutely devoured your Mom’s chicken/rice creation. It was still warm. I was too stuffed but am going to have the beef in a bit. The containers you are using for to-go food are PERFECT. I’ve been jostling my beef around for miles tonight. It’s been sideways, upside-down, and banged around a lot during my walking. Hasn’t leaked a bit.
*Thank you Troop 888 for the food drive donation! 
Donated to Open Arms!

*Hi I am in funky kids yoga. I am 10 and have done a bunch of random acts of kindness and here are some of the random acts: I helped the best I could when someone came over, I wrote nice poems to my mom and dad and put it on their bed secretly witch made them smile, I wrote my sister a letter with candy in it, I watched my little sisters for my mom and dad, I gave my little sister a sucker, my brother some gum, my little sister wanted someone to sleep with and i let her witch made her smile, at activity days everybody left a mess from the activity and so I helped them clean up, I helped my mom clean the kitchen and do the dishes, I mopped the floor, I helped our friend cook. I have seen a video called random acts. I finished off the 3 cards I had and still did more acts without even knowing, sometimes I just like doing kindness for fun. Amy Wilkinson is my funky kids yoga name and she told me to send you the random acts that I’ve done.
I arrived at the office as usual. When I went to see if there was anything in my mailbox I found a small glass bowl filled with chocolates and other sweet treats. I have know idea who left it, as it wasn’t there when I left the night before. It really did brighten my day and I will be looking for an opportunity to pay it forward. I pray that whoever left it – is blessed abundantly.
*Tonight I received a gracious act of kindness from an employee at Freddy’s. I had ordered and eaten while working at my laptop in the restaurant. After I finished, I teared up for a few minutes–It was one of those overwhelming days near Christmas when everything that needs to be done and too much to do for everyone else had sapped my reserves. I dried my tears and got back to work. Minutes later, a young man carrying a small concrete approached me, “Would you like a free Worms and Dirt concrete?” He smiled. I accepted. My heart felt warmer, fuller. He could have thrown that concrete out, but instead he found a customer that needed a pick-me-up. That little treat buoyed my spirits more than he may ever know

*Today I was feeling low and needed a lift. I handed out 4 lucky Bamboo to people who looked like they could use a lift. This simple take brought a smile to my face and lifted me up.

Intentional acts of kindness will lift you up. Have a kind mind…your heart will thank you.
There’s so many ways to do acts of kindness. There’s organizations all over the US that collect items for deployed heroes. I collect items monthly and if you want to participate, connect with me.
