More About National Random Acts of Kindness Day

Many scientific studies have shown that being kind and showing random acts of kindness can go a long way for others and yourself. It can improve others' moods and make them more likely to "pay it forward" for others.

Random Act of Kindness Day was first established in 1995 by the nonprofit Random Acts of Kindness Foundation. It first originated in Denver, Colorado and in 2004, spread to New Zealand. The idea and celebration continued to spread and is officially celebrated on February 17th in the United States.
