• What to Expect: Expect to spend the day volunteering with a group of kind people having fun, making memories and changing lives.
• What we do: Attendees our broken up into TEAMS. Each team has different service projects and tasks they must complete. The projects range from cleaning and organizing for local non-profits, decorating a home for the holidays, packing food boxes, shopping for gifts for deserving children and families, light gardening, and much more.
• What to wear: Dress in comfortable clothes that will look good with your new RAKA T-shirt (or feel free to wear one of your past shirts)!

We lost three of our biggest supporters this year. Our event will be held in their honor and you will be a part of our #LIVELIKEADAM, #GIVELIKEGRANDMASHARON, and #LOVELIKEKEITH tributes.

While they won't be with us in person their spirit, love, and kind hearts will be felt throughout the event. I can't wait to share their RAKA stories with you.

If you’d like a little more information on RAKA, what it is, how it came about, and why, you can check us out on Facebook @Random Acts of Kindness Alliance. I rely on the community and RAKA Crew to post pictures and stories of kindness so you can see what we are up! If you have a random act of kindness you’d like to share, we would love to hear it! Post it on social media.

Thank you for joining us and supporting our kindness crusade. Our wish is that everyone would carry on this ripple of kindness and do all they can to spread love, happiness and kindness in this world.
