Your mission...

Thanks for taking part in our "Louder than words" Easter event at actionchurch. Our goal is to help people in the community in practical ways with random acts of kindness and generosity. You have all been given a small amount of cash ($5, $10, or $20.) and three rules


  1. Don't put it in the donation box

  2. Don't spend it on youself

  3. Use it for a simple act of kindness.

Here are some ideas to dramatically help others with even the small amounts you have been given.


  • Buy someone in need a Rabbit bus pass.

  • Pay the bill for the car behind you at the fast food drive-through.

  • People are struggling to buy gasoline...offer to pay for part or all of someones gas purchase at the gas station.

  • Combine your amount with family or friends and purchase a grocery card for a family in need.

  • Leave a "mystery" giftcard for someone having a hard time at work.

  • "Tip" someone not expecting to be tipped.

  • Buy flowers and hand them out at a nursing home.

These are just a few ways to let someone know they are cared for with just a small amount of cash. Get Creative! Share your story and/or ideas for more ways to help others in the comment section below. You can remain anonymous if you wish.

Good luck and Godspeed!
