Random Act of Kindness Challenge

Rotary After Hours Launches February Random Act of Kindness Challenge

Encouraging Rotarians and the Community to Spread Kindness, One Act at a Time

Rotary After Hours (RAH) is inviting all area Rotary Clubs and neighbors near and far to take part in a Random Act of Kindness Challenge throughout February 2026, spreading kindness and strengthening our community one act at a time.

The challenge is easy: do something kind for someone else. Big or small, planned or spontaneous, every act counts. Whether it’s paying for someone’s coffee, shoveling a neighbor’s sidewalk, writing a thank-you note, or checking in on someone who could use a smile, these moments of kindness have a ripple effect far beyond the initial gesture.

“This challenge is a reminder that kindness costs very little, but means everything,” one RAH member said.

Kindness makers are encouraged to post about their acts of kindness on social media using hashtags like #RandomActsOfKindness and #RotaryAfterHours along with the Be Kind logo to help spread the movement even further.

Let’s make February a month of compassion, connection, and positivity, and let’s make kindness go viral!
