I had a different Act of Kindness planned this week but certain things didn’t work out due to timing but I still managed a Random Act of Kindness for my Be The Change Series. I think this is something everyone can do, granted of course that you are not a small business party of one. I decided to treat two of my co-workers with a Dunkin Donuts gift card. They work hard so they should have a little java break as a reward. We have about 700-800 employees in our office so it was completely random as to who was chosen. I picked one lunch box in two separate fridges to place the cards in.
Let’s just say my childhood dreams of being a super spy will never happen. I was trying to snap a few pictures before someone came walking by, and got spooked by every little noise. Sorry for the blurry pictures. I walked to the fridge for my own lunch bag giddy to see if the cards were still there or if they were taken (the lunch bags were gone). Let me just say this is so much fun and I love doing this series. For a blank template of the Be The Change cards click here. Are you considering doing your own Act of Kindness? If not, what is stopping you? Grab a button if you would like to spread the word. The change that we seek in others has to first come from within. This year I hope you decide to Be the Change You Seek.

Ohhhh that’s a fun, unexpected one! Have any of your recipients tweeted about it that you’ve seen? That would be so cool if so!
Kerry says
I haven’t seen anything as of yet. I did setup a separate notification too, so I should see it if it happens.

What a sweet surprise! I wish I could see the reaction on their faces when they opened their lunches 🙂

Kerry says
I know, if would have be fun to see their reaction. The next time maybe.
Kate @ Another Clean Slate says
I love that you picked random lunch bags to put the cards in!!
Kerry says
Thanks! Yes, I didn’t want to single anyone out specifically. Besides it is more fun that way.
SMD @ Life According to Steph says
Great idea! I love it. Especially putting them in random bags.
Kerry says
Yes, it is funny since we all got company logo lunch bags one year so there is no telling any of them apart! 🙂
Jessica says
You wow me with your generosity once again!! 800 employees? That’s a lot!! Tell me again what you do?
Kerry says
Yes, it is a really large company so in this office alone it is pretty big.
Amanda says
I love that you put them in RANDOM lunch bags!!!!!!!!! Gah! I just love you! 😀
Kerry says
Yes, I have no idea who they belonged to or who got them. Also one of the bags are ones we got as an annual gift so like 50 people use them so no telling who it was that got it! 🙂 Love you bunches too girl!
Mandy says
haha I love that you get spooked by every little noise while trying to sneakily take pictures! I just love this whole thing you’ve got going on

Angi Solle says
Stop being awesome you’re making the rest of us look bad, no I am only kidding, this is wonderful! It really is the little things in life, you probably completely made their day!
Kerry says
Haha! Thank you! I hope so, I know it helps when I am having a bad day to do good. Hope it made their day too.
Detroit Duchess says
This is so awesome!! You never know how you might perk up someone’s day. It would be so cool if you start a trend in your workplace!
Kerry says
Yes, it could just be the thing that turns around a bad day! It would be really cool if it ending up making it around the office!
Kelly says
You are doing such good work! I look forward to seeing what you will do next. Paying it forward is such a win-win. You’re a good egg, Kerry! 🙂
Kerry says
Thank you so much! I have been loving paying it forward. Thank you for the kind words and following along!
Stacia says
That’s a great way to do it! Did you ever find out who go them?
Kerry says
Thanks! No, I have no idea who ended up with them but I am ok with that too.
Lisita N. says
Kerry, this is such a sweet and sneaky thing to do! Hehe I love the high pressure of doing getting caught for an act of kindness 😉 I have to get on my game and plan out a fun thing to do too!
Kerry says
I do not have nerves of steel that is for sure! Haha! Yes, if you do one feel free to link it up!
Kim @ Racing Bananas says
What a great idea to spread kindness! I love this idea of sneaking in to people’s lunch boxes (though I would so get caught!)
Kerry says
I was so worried about getting caught, but it was fun too.
Kai says
this is awesome! one day a guy in front of me had to run out to his car to get money, so i just paid for his coffee an left. i saw him come out smiling looking for the person who did it but i just drove away. i love the feeling! definitely need to start doing something similar more often.
Kerry says
It is such an amazing feeling to help someone else. We all have those rough moments and it was great you were able to change his day around by your good deed!
Amy @ Long Drive Journey says
I just clicked over from Vodka and Soda, and I absolutely love this!! I bet each person was so excited! I hope that they each pay it forward as well. You’ve inspired me! I want to do something like this myself!
Kerry says
Thank you. I was fun just picking a bag and putting it in for them to find. I hope it spreads and they do a good deed as well. I would love to know if you decide to do one!
Morgan {Style Oyster} says
This is a really cool thing you are doing! I think I really want to join in. Thanks for being a light in the world.
Kerry says
Thank you! I would love it if you decided to do a few Random Acts too.
