Do you know the No. 1 way to find kindness in your community? Make it yourself.

From simple gestures to volunteering your time, here are six random acts of kindness you can perform to make a neighbor’s day or brighten up the community.

Bring treats to work

Next time you’re on the way to work, grab your coworkers some coffee or pastries. Pro tip: Donuts from FunkyTown Donuts and Drafts and brews from Pax & Beneficia Coffee are a perfect pairing.

Pay for a student’s lunch

School lunches cost ~$3 a day, which for many students can be a burden. Call Fort Worth ISD’s nutrition services and ask to pay a student’s backdue charges.

Gift something just because

Whether it’s to recognize a teacher or just surprise someone special in your life, we suggest gifting a candle from Wixology or a card from Joy Paper Co. Or snag something from P.S. the Letter.

Show local businesses some love

It’s no secret that we love our local businesses. Next time you stop by your go-to spots, tip generously or write a positive review.

Plant native species

Add some green to your community by planting native species. Use the National Wildlife Federation’s Native Plant Finder to start your search.

Help our furry friends

Consider fostering or adopting a furry friend in need of a home, or volunteer at a local shelter like the Humane Society of North Texas. You can also donate monetarily or drop off blankets, toys, food, and supplies.

Volunteer with local organizations
