Random Acts of Kindness and PB&J

The past two days of service have been fantastic. On Sunday, the service act was less structured, but just as important! We hung out around Times Square and preformed random acts of kindness. As a group, we bought Mcdonald’s for the person in front of us in the line, and as my service act, I bought a lottery ticket from a vending stand and gave it to a person. I hope they won! Overall, I was quite surprised to see how shocked people were to receive these random acts of kindness. It goes to show that as a culture we don’t do it enough, which is quite a shame.
As for today’s service activity, we made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and lunch packs for the homeless and distributed them at various stations. We first went to Port Authority, Grand Central, and finally Penn station. It was really rewarding to make the lunch at the hostel and get to see their reactions first hand.
