Can Claytonians Do 1,000 Acts of Kindness in December?

"Do The Right Thing" has started a website to log acts of kindness in the city this month.

Did you do something kind today?

Organizers of "Do The Right Thing" want to know about it. They have set up a website for people to share their stories of doing kind things and kind acts by others.

The goal is to log 1,000 acts of kindness for the month of December.

For example, one act already posted on the site by Kristen Simpkins, says:

"I had to go to Safeway today just for one item. As I was getting out of my car, I ran into a friend who had just finished shopping. She offered to wait in my car with my two young boys while I ran into the store. She probably thought it was no big deal, but I was so grateful to not have to unbuckle them out of their car seats, find a shopping cart they would both agree to ride in, stop by the bakery for their free cookies, etc. I was in and out of the store in three minutes which was a veritable miracle!"

This is part of Clayton's "Do The Right Thing" program that started in 2010 to help promote integrity, responsibility, courage, self-discipline, respect and, of course, kindness.
