We want to spread kindness, gratitude and acts of good while highlighting the work of great charities.

We want to start a wildfire of kindness and positivity online and in everyday life.

So if you are tired of negativity, strife & division—especially on social media—

It’s easy! Simply...

-On social media SHARE an ACT OF KINDNESS someone has done for you with #AmericaIsKind

-TAG 3-5 friends and your favorite charity to take the #AmericaIsKind Challenge

-PAY IT FORWARD by doing a random act of kindness for a stranger

If you run out of ideas, we have plenty at the #AmericaIsKind Challenge!

Our theme today is Health, and our Charity of the Day is The American Red Cross, the amazing organization which prevents and alleviates human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors. Did you know the Red Cross responds to an emergency every 8 minutes?

“The American Red Cross turns compassion into action.”

Gratitude: “I am grateful for my beating heart, which gives me the gift of life.”

Good: Donate blood— the gift that save lives— at your local Red Cross drive

Good: Volunteer to drive or accompany a friend or neighbor to a doctor’s appointment

Good: On social media, share three things you are grateful your beating heart enables you to do

Good: Get your heart rate up by exercising with a friend or loved one

America is kind because Americans are kind.

Let’s remind each other just how kind we can be when we turn our #GratefulToGood with #AmericaIsKind!
