Thank a first responder/frontline worker
Make a donation to your favorite local charity or organization
Buy a stranger a cup of coffee from a local coffee shop
Shop local
Offer to pick up groceries for a senior on your block
Send a coworker or friend an ice cream sandwich
Leave an extra big tip
Write a note of kindness and leave it on someone’s windshield
Check in on a new mom
Purchase/Support our local artists
Surprise someone with flowers or cookies
Book a workout at a local gym/fitness studio
