What do 600 diapers, 300 toys and 2,500 letters of appreciation to police officers all have in common? Macaroni Kid’s act of kindness day. Macaroni Kid is not just about finding all the family fun, it is a community made up of Publisher and families from all over the United States who also love acts of kindness.
This year, the 2nd annual, Macaroni Kid Acts of Kindness day included more than 60 local events that took place on September 19th that inspired the community to come together, lend a hand, donate a dollar and give back to so many in their community.

"No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted." –Aesop
One of the acts was as small as mother and child delivering flowers to an elder neighbor who had fallen and broken her ankle. And another introduced dozens of young girls to the world of computer programming via 100 Girls of Code. Several beaches and trails were cleaned up and thousands of dollars were raised for causes from Alzheimer’s research to Stand Up for Autism.
Joyce Evans, Publisher of Macaroni Kid Lake Worth, Florida, said "It feels so good to give back and involve our Macaroni Kid friends."
"My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness." - Dalai Lama
Our hope is to inspire others to commit just one act of kindness, a day, a week or a year…we don’t care, just as long as there is a little more kindness in the word, we’ll keep doing what we do.
