Program: ACTS OF KINDNESS

Transform your community with acts of Kindness, Generosity, & Service

"In a gift economy, goods and services are given freely, without asking for anything in return. Instead of "savings", it is the circulation of the unconditional offerings within the community that leads to increase -- increase in connections, increase in relationship strength. Our security lies in our service to the world."

Take these three simple steps to "Launch a Gift Economy" in your community during the Season for Nonviolence:
