Snack And
Give Back!
Here’s a
sweet idea:
The Kind
Snacks company recently
launched
a program
called Kinded
to encourage
people to
help others.
Simply print a
“deed” card
from kinded
.com and
perform your
given task—
like paying for
a stranger’s
coffee or
helping
someone
carry bags—
then give the
card to that
person to
create a chain of charitable
acts. Just be sure to copy
down the code on the card
before you hand it over:
You can type it into kinded
.com later to see how far
your good deed travels.
