RAK Up the Kindness

Random Acts of Kindness

It’s that time of year again. The annual Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) Challenge starts on November 1st. WJS makes a real difference in the communities we serve – and November is our time to take it up a notch.
Random acts of kindness are contagious – they make everyone feel good! And they inspire others to act as well. It’s a win-win.

Last year the challenge was 1,000 RAKs. This year we want to match that – or even beat it. Use your imagination and open your hearts and we’ll all reap the benefits.

Check out these sites for some great ideas. Bring your team together to brainstorm or fly solo – whatever you do, it is sure to be appreciated.

Pay It Foward

RAKs are meant to be anonymous but we also want to inspire people to pay it forward. Every time you carry out a RAK encourage the recipient to perform their own act of kindness. For every RAK we’ll donate $1 to the food-bank, and WJS will also match that with another $1. That’s $2 for every RAK going to the food bank. We will divide the total food-bank contribution equally between AB, BC and ON.

The 1,000 RAK Challenge

After you have carried out your RAK, email or fax HR at 604.465-5502 and tell us what you did. Your RAK will be added to our total and help us reach our goal. If you were on the receiving end of a RAK – let us know about that too – we’ll share an inspiring list of all your fabulous kind acts in a future newsletter, and the participants will receive a small token of appreciation from WJS.

RAK ON!
